104-C-142 Yugoslavian M48 Bayonet in Scabbard x 2

The M1948 bayonet was a short version of the pre-War M1924 bayonet, adopted when Yugoslavia rebuilt the Vojno Tehnicki Zavod (Military Technical Institute), which was totally destroyed during the Second World War. The Cyrillic marking (ПРЕДУЗЕЋЕ), was used until 1953, when they switched to the western marking (PREDUZECE). In English, it means “factory” or “enterprise.” Factory 44 was the Zavodi Crvena Zastava (Red Flag Works) in Kragujevac, Serbia.
