Picked up an interesting Yugo M1924 bayonet today. The blade is the original length, blued, and the muzzle ring has been removed. When I removed the scabbard from the frog, I was surprised to find that the screw above the frog stud has been removed and the hole plugged. A tapped hole for a set screw has been added to the side German-style, though the screw is missing.

I know the Germans cut off the muzzle ring and blued the blade, but did they also modify the scabbards as well?

Edit: Pics added

Are you talking about a long blade bayonet? Might it look something like this?

By any chance, is it marked anything like this?

No, it is not one of the M24b conversions, just a standard BT3 long bayonet. Muzzle ring has definitely been removed. The serial number was damaged in the process with the first digit being completely obliterated and the second partially so.

Finally had some time to take some pictures. German?

I cannot see why anybody else would bother with such a thing...

With high possibility a german rework,the serial number is yugoslavian.
