    Czech VZ24 Bayonet-End User I.D. help need, please.

    I have this bayonet which I believe to be a Czechicon VZ24 and I assume it was for export. What I don't know is which country it was exported to when new and I was wondering if Forum members could make some suggestions as to the end user, please? While there are not many markings on this bayo, there are a few, which may help. It was advertised as being used by Germanyicon during WW2 which I didn't believe when I saw it advertised and I still don't; I stand to be corrected on this point, of course. Thanks for any information and help.

    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.

    Not likely used by Germanyicon, they would have gotten rid of the muzzle ring. Crossed swords best bet at ID but Probably just Czechicon. Export bayonets had circle z.

    I suspect that it's been refurbished which may have lost some of it's markings.

    Crossed swords on Czechicon bayonets signify post war communist production.
