    Is this a refurbished Yugo M24 long bayonet?

    Here are some pictures of a recent purchase which was sold to me as a Czechicon contract long Mauser bayonet and at a very reasonable price, so no complaints. I'm not 100% convinced that it is actually Czech but suspect that it is in fact a refurbished Yugoslavian M24 bayonet. Unfortunately there are no markings visible to help identification other than the numbers stamped to the rear of the pommel, I assume a serial. It appears to have standard Mauser fittings although I haven't actually tried it on anything; the muzzle ring is round about 16mm dia. Notice how one side of the throat to the scabbard is cut away, presumably to allow the scabbard to be fitted while the bayonet is attached to the rifle. The finish appears to be a black paint to the metalwork and lacquer to the wood grips.

    I wondered what other members thoughts are on this one as to whether or not it is a refurbed Yugoicon M24 or something else? Thanks for any information.

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.

    I don't think it is either. Looks like a Belgian FN manufactured bayonet.

    It looks like the long FN 49 bayonet to me too.

    Czechicon bayonets have riveted cross pieces. Yugoslav made bayonets have different handle screws. It looks like an FN made 1924 to me which was exported to many nations including Yugoslaviaicon and was in direct competition with the Czech made VZ23 bayonet.

    Ok thanks for the information chaps. So is this likely to have been made pre WW2 1920s/30s, by F.N. Belgiumicon, exported to another country and refurbished by them, perhaps, Post-War?

    That would be my guess.
