I could not find a picture but found a discussion on the Mannlicher 1985 Short rifle. https://forums.gunboards.com/showthread.php?251276-New-to-Me-Steyr-M-95-in-8x50-Non-Import Your bayonet looks like a Czechoslovakian Model VZ23 Mauser "Long" Bayonet (aka Czechoslovakian Model VZ24 "Long" Bayonet) http://arms2armor.com/Bayonets/czechvz24long.htm
