Hello,

yes the germans used hugh numbers of the norwegian M94 bayonet, but named this model Seitengewehr 102 (n).

Also the S102(n) were made new in the Kongesberg armory.

First the made it out of shorted M1916 bayontes... than totaly knew.

You can recognize them by the missing number and the typical Kongsberg hallmarks.

Since middle of 1943 a inspection Group of the Waffenamt was stationed in Kongsberg and proof the bayonets with WaA84.


shorted ones... phosphated and in the white

Unfortunally the Vz24 was reworked and serialed by Yugoslavians too, beech wood was not used by germans, and the serialing is typical postwar serialing by Yugoslavia.
Belgian M16 was used only as sidearm, could be not fixed on rifle, wout the barell ring properly.

Hello,

the modification of the Vz24 - Seitengewehr 24(t) is typically German. However, the number on the guard and the carrying hook shows quite clearly that this bayonet was used in Yugoslavia after 1945.

The shortened P1907 British bayonet Seitengewehr 101(e) is also a well-known German modification. There are also numerous finds here. Unfortunately not completely.

Yes, the Belgian M1916 is such a thing. A removed race can speak for 1st and 2nd World War. During World War II it was also often shortened. This adaptation is already typically German, since a barrel ring was extremely unpopular. Only then you could no longer attach the bayonet. However, the majority of these bayonets were used unchanged.

Thanks for the reply. Is the VZ 24 scabbard with the side screw a German modification or Yugoslavian?

The addition of scabbard screws is typical of many of the German modified bayonets, as is the reworking of the frog stud. Best Regards, Fred
