My Dad bought me this bayonet in an auction about 25 years ago, and I've never been able to identify its age or country of origin. The markings are almost too faint to see so if anyone has any knowledge about it I would be very interested to hear! Many thanks

Due to forum rules, I cant link to other forums but just google czech VZ23 VZ24 bayonets and you should get plenty of hits.

Quite a nice bayonet pattern and a bit more slender in the handle than the German bayonet for the K98.

Yours of course have a bit of wear on the pommel. Looks like its been used as a hammer at some point.
