M24L bayonet. FN made copy of the Czech VZ23 Long bayonet marked with a serial number 69365 on the butt of the pommel and Lithuanian "Gate" mark between the pin heads on the right side of the crossguard. POOR condition with pitting all over. Very rare with only 30,000 made, initially taken and stored by the Soviets when they annexed Lithuania then captured from them by the Germans in 1941 who subsequently re-used them but cut the muzzle rings off of most. This one has its muzzle ring intact. The Gate mark is pretty rough on this one so I have included a picture at the end of a good one so you can see it's definitely there.
