Knife bayonet for use on the 8 mm. Mauser vz. 24 rifle. This bayonet was also used
with the vz. 23 rifle.
These were used by the Czechoslovakian Army and also exported extensively both
prior to and following the Second World War. Modified VZ–24 bayonets were used
extensively by Germany during the Second World War.

VZ–24 bayonets were made by Československá zbrojovka a.s., Brno.
This example is typical of pre-War production.

The VZ–24 rifle and bayonet resulted from input by Czechoslovakian cavalry forces,
who found that the VZ–23 rifle and bayonet were not well suited for cavalry use.
They requested rifle modifications and that the 400 mm. blade of the VZ–23 bayonet
be shortened by 100 mm., resulting in the VZ–24 bayonet with its 300 mm. blade
becoming the standard bayonet for Czechoslovakian forces.
