These were used by the Czech Army and exported to several countries. Modified bayonets were used by Germany during WWII. These were made by Ceskoslovenska zbrojovka a.s., Brno.

The spine, sides and fullers have light scuffs and handling marks with some light finish loss along the leading edges. There are no nicks or dings and the blade appears to have its original factory edge. The tip is intact and comes to a sharp straight point. The blade finish has been blued.
