    Yugo M24b bayo off ebay

    I don't know much at all about bayonets, but I do know the early long ones bring a premium. I snagged this one off ebay.

    It's an M24b conversion of a Germanicon 98/05 bayonet with scabbard.
    Zastava historian Branko Bogdanovic confirmed it for me adding it was converted at VTZ. He said that of 4 types it was the "rarest." He also allowed they bring about 80 Euros ($123) over there. Regular long M24 bayos sell between $80-$120 here from what I've seen. With shipping, my cost is $74.50.
    It also has what I'm told is an imperial Germ inspection stamp remaining.
    So how'd I do?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I think you did well - I'd not seen a converted Gew98 bayon before, only read about them. I like the longer M24 type bayos - have one myself, though not a converted Gew model. They (M24 bayos) are uncommon in general. the M48 model is much easier to find.

    Very good find, thats one of the rarer configurations of that bayo, if not the rarest. I sold one over 10 years ago for well over what you paid for yours, HTH-SDH

    Thanks. That's great news!
    A friend who collects Yugoicon bayos allowed what I got is considered the second rarest of the 4 types.
