Very good condition original pre WWII Yugoslav M24B Mauser bayonet. This rare bayonet was Yugoslavian arsenal converted from a WWI German 98/05 Mauser butcher bayonet by thinning the blade and removing part of the guard. Bayonet has Oberndorf markings on the left ricasso and dated 1917 on the spine. Left side of guard is marked “M24B”. Blade has original bright finish with some gray and brown. Remaining metal finish is mostly gray and brown. Wood grips have original finish and a good tight fit, lock button functions fine. Fitted in correct original steel scabbard that has original blue metal finish mostly worn to bright, gray, and brown. No dents. A very rare bayonet that will make a fine advanced addition to a collection.
