Yugoslavia M1948 Mauser Bayonet (number equal!)

On the cross-guard there a marking W and on the otherside numbered 1064. Number equal on the frog stud of the scabbard. No other markings present on bayonet or scabbard.

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.
