ID Help.

Can anyone tell me who made one of my bayonets? All it has on it is a Z in a circle, the same on the scabbard.

[Richard Simmons]

I'm no expert on bayonets or much of anything else for that matter but Czechoslovakia used a Z in a circle for marking small parts on firearms. HTH

[ED4]

Do you have a pic of it?

Almost sounds like the marking on the swiss bayonets(I think it's for the pe57 or stg57 something like that).

Heres some pics of it maybe they can help.

While we are ID-ing bayonets heres a couple more I need some help with. The first one is just like the one in the first post except for the markings, the scabard is marked the same so I will not post a pic of it just the one of the hilt.

The CSZ is definetly Czech IMO. The R might be a unit marking but is not in my reference books. The other bayonet is German though the S/242 is not listed as a manufacturer. S/243G*, S/243 & 243 are Mauser Werke but no 242?

[Schuetzenman]

Yes deifinitely a Czech VZ24 bayonet for the first and a K98k type bayonet for the other.
