VZ-23 Long |
Sword bayonet that accompanied Czech-manufactured Persian-contract M1898/29 Mauser rifles in the early 1930s. These were some of the finest Mauser military rifles ever produced.
Unlike bayonets made for the Czech Army and other Eastern European countries, this example has a conventional blade profile. The scabbard has a French-style frog loop, rather than a conventional frog stud. |
