Maybe my view is skewed, but as someone who is after a different lion marking on M95 bayonets - single tail as opposed to double, it seems to me I always see far too many bayonets with Czech markings.

However, militaria such as bayonets is usually outside the scope of this forum. The sword I guess fits though, since technically, it started as an etnographic weapons before it was given a military dress. I am sure there are members here, who can help you with finding fittings.
