Czech Army VZ-58 Bayonet With Leather Scabbard

The Czech Army VZ-58 Bayonet with Leather Scabbard is a military-issued bayonet designed for use with the VZ-58 assault rifle, which entered service with Czechoslovak armed forces in the late 1950s. The bayonet features a sturdy, spear-point blade measuring approximately 7 inches in length, crafted from high-carbon steel for durability. The handle is typically composed of black bakelite or similar composite materials, and includes a metal pommel and crossguard. The bayonet attaches securely to the rifle’s barrel via a lug and catch mechanism integrated into the hilt. Accompanying the bayonet is a fitted leather scabbard, designed to protect the blade and allow the bayonet to be carried safely on a utility belt. This item reflects the standard military equipment issued to Czech and Slovak troops during the Cold War era and is characteristic of military bayonets produced in Eastern Bloc countries during the period.
