Czech CZ Vz.24 Bayonet

Czechoslovakia produced the Kar 98k rifle and VZ-24 bayonet from 1946 until 1950 for both domestic use and for export contracts.

This VZ-24 bayonet was produced in 1946, after the German occupation ended and before the communist take-over of Czechoslovakia in February 1948. The blade and crosspiece have a phosphate finish. The hilt and pommel are polished. The scabbard is blued. The bayonet is in outstanding condition, and does not appear to have seen use.
