Since we are talking about SS VZ-24 Bayonets, I would like to expand the subject to a SS TV VZ-24 Bayonet with Property Number to the 4th TK-Standarte Ostmark. This Standarte was formed in 1938 at Vienna and Berlin. Later designated 4. SS-Infanterie Regiment.
Bayonet is a VZ-24 that has been given an SS Property #45. Scabbard is numbered on thte frog stud. Grips are numbered 866 which matches the number on the tang. Bayonet is 4th TK-Standarte marked as well as SS marked. The frog is 4th TK-Standarte marked.The blade has been sharpened to an extreme keen edge before reblue. The muzzle ring has been cut.
