Scabbard to bayonet vz. 24 Good morning. I'm an archaeologist, but I'm a bronze age researcher. I've now developed some military monuments. They were discovered together with a team of militaria (and other objects) from the area around the Great War and World War II from the area around Gdansk (Wejherowo) in Poland. As these are objects produced for the purposes of the Second World War (and earlier, among others, from the times of the Great War) I ask for help. The condition is like in the pictures. It is connected with the fact that it has been in the ground for several dozen years. I have identified the scabbard for bayonet vz 24. Date and place of production unknown. I have the least information here. I'd like to ask how this model is dated. What years of production? The rifle itself is probably 1924-42 but were the bayonets manufactured in the same way? Please verify this information. 2) In what years was it used in the regular army and in what years? I am only interested in the German and Czechoslovakian armies. 3) Do you know anything about its use in World War II? 4) Do you know anything about the scale of bayonet production with this scabbard and where it could have taken place? Or, of course, the scabbard itself when it was produced but I doubt that such data is available. If it was a mass production, it is enough for me to have this information without giving details. I read that production took place in Zbrojovka Brno, since 1937 also in Považská Bystrica. Please confirm or deny it. 5) It was found together with the rifles: Mannlicher 1888/90, Mauser Gew98 and Mauser Kar98AZ. Could it have been linked to any of them? I suspect Gew. 98. I'd appreciate any information you can give me on this material. And possibly (but not necessarily) for the literature you have information from.
