    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.  The factory is still operating today and is known as Zastava Arms.
    Ricasso: "ПРЕДУЗЕЋЕ" in a semicircle, over "44"
    Crosspiece: "4827"
    Scabbard:  "n44" in triangle. "4827" on frog stud.
