Australian / Commonwealth Military Spike Bayonet with Scabbard (WWII Era)

A genuine military-issued spike bayonet, featuring a triangular steel blade and socket mount, designed to fit over a rifle barrel.

This style was widely used by British and Commonwealth forces during World War II and into the post-war period, including Australian service use.

The bayonet retains its original steel scabbard, with working release mechanism and clear stamped markings including “75 Z”, likely a production or batch code.

A classic piece of mid-20th century militaria with strong display appeal.
