Czechoslovakian ‘M1924’ Short Bayonet and Scabbard. BAYO 2617 - BAYO 2617
This bayonet is a single fullered spear pointed knife blade with reversed cutting edge (on the same side as the muzzle ring), steel hilt with muzzle ring and protruding rivets, wood scale grips attached by two screws, steel beaked pommel with locking button. Steel scabbard with frog hook and ball finial. The blade is stamped on one side at the ricasso with ‘ČSZ’ over ‘D’. ČSZ stands for Československá Zbrojovka, the state arms factory in Brno. The scabbard frog hook is stamped with ‘ČSZ’ and a three-part stamp ‘E’, followed by a lion emblem, followed by ‘46’, indicating the year of manufacture was 1946. There are no German markings or modifications, suggesting this bayonet has not been reworked during WW2. The M1924 was the first bayonet adopted by Czechoslovakia after its independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918. It fits the vz. 24 rifle, which was a derivative of the M1898 Mauser rifle which was chambered in multiple calibres depending on customer demand. These rifles and their bayonets were widely exported, notably to South American countries: Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala, El Salvador, Brazil, Peru, Nicaragua and Ecuador were all users, and it was found on both sides of South American conflicts of the 1920s and ‘30s such as the Chaco War and Ecuadorian–Peruvian War. During the Spanish Civil War Catalan Republican forces were supplied with vz. 24s purchased by the Soviets. Chinese Nationalist forces purchased 195,000 over the course of a decade (1927-1937), used during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Chinese Civil War. Iran placed multiple orders and also produced a version under license. Large numbers were captured from Czech arsenals after the fall of the Czech Republic in 1939 and reissued to German forces under the designation Gewehr 24(t) - the Czech factories continued to produce these rifles under occupation, with modifications to match German standards. Nearly 500,000 vz. 24s were also ordered by Romania during the occupation. The blade appears to have been re sharpened. The grips and scabbard are in very good condition, only showing minor age related signs of wear. Blade length is 30 cm (43 cm overall. See White & Watts page 52/54 item No 127. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 2617. (Box 3)

It was created by the Australian Government in 1912 to ease reliance on the British for the supply of defence materials.) for the army, along with bayonets. The shortened, lightened No 1 was really only the standard No 1 rifle reduced in length with a modified sight, and so the bayonet was merely a shortened No 1.

Russian ‘AKM MkI’ Bayonet and Scabbard. BAYO 701 - BAYO 701
The AKM rifle was introduced in 1960. Amongst other things the updated AK47 variant included a bayonet lug. Being much easier and cheaper to manufacture than the AK47, production and use of the AKM went worldwide. The inclusion of a bayonet lug allowed for a more conventional bayonet. The AKM Type 1 has a one-piece moulded plastic grip and pommel and a stainless steel blade. It has an un fullered clip point blade and saw teeth along the spine. The steel scabbard has a lug at the point that engages a window cut into the blade so that the bayonet and scabbard can be combined as a wire cutter. A retention strap is included for extra grip when using as a combat knife. This example is Russian, and not Romanian as many are. Matching numbers can be found on the scabbard and bayonet crossguard. The wire cutter is intact as is the leather belt hoop, and the plastic and metal are only showing minor signs of use. See page 190 of ‘An illustrated history of bayonets’ by Martin.J.Brayley. A nice matching numbers bayonet and scabbard for the collection. The price includes UK postage. BAYO 701.

WWII Czechoslovakian Mauser VZ24 Bayonet in German Frog. BAYO 690. - BAYO 690
These bayonets were used by the Czechoslovakian Army and also exported extensively both prior to and following the Second World War. Modified VZ–24 bayonets were used extensively by Germany during the Second World War. VZ–24 bayonets were made by Československá zbrojovka a.s., Brno. This example is typical of pre-War production. The VZ–24 rifle and bayonet resulted from input by Czechoslovakian cavalry forces, who found that the VZ–23 rifle and bayonet were not well suited for cavalry use. They requested rifle modifications and that the 400 mm. blade of the VZ–23 bayonet be shortened by 100 mm., resulting in the VZ–24 bayonet with its 300 mm. blade becoming the standard bayonet for Czechoslovakian forces. Czechoslovakian Army bayonets had the inverted blade profile, while export bayonets can be found with both inverted and conventional blade profiles. This example comes in a thick brown leather German frog *broken at the top and side. It probably is a WWII German re-issue. The head of the pommel is stamped ‘11973’. The scabbard is undamaged with even patina and light areas of service wear. The grips are wooden and held with two pins. The blade length is 30cm and overall length is 43cm. The blade is in good condition with signs of wear. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 690. (Other countries Box 2)
