Liberty Tree Collectors. I've done business with them. Prices on some things are good, on others not so much but that's the way of nearly all the surplus dealers. $39 is a fair price. I've seen them a bit lower but harder to find at those prices. They always ship quick and I have no complaints with what I've received from them.

M48 perfectly.

The post war Yugoslav bayonets were a 'one size fits all' sort of thing. Along with much of the rest of the world at that time they determined that a blade length of 9" was ideal for a bayonet.
So beginning about 1947 they started making them on the old M1924 pattern with shorter blades. They also refurbished old long M1924 bayonets by cutting the blades down to length and cutting the scabbards to match. The cut down bayonets are not real common and they are easy to recognize. The fuller runs right through the end of the blade.
