    I would greatly appreciate any help in identifying the nationality and era of this bayonet. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Here's a closeup view of the blade markings. Is the "44" a date (I.e. 1944)?

      And here's the opposite of the blade with a mark on the crossguard. I can provide more photos if needed. Thanks again for any help:

        Hi,

        this is a yugoslavian M48 bayonett for Mauser rifles.
        The writing says Preduzece 44 which means "Factory 44".
        "44" ain't the year of manufacturing but indicates only the Factory where it has been manufactured. Factory 44 is near Kragujevac.
        As far as I know are these bayonetts post war productions for the yugoslawian copy of the K98 rifle

        Cheers,

        Alex
