Picked up a small bayonet collection. Could use some help identifying one of them.

I picked up a collection of bayonets today. I think I have them figured out except for one.
Left to right:

1873 Springfield
1892 Krag Jorgensen
?
M1 Garand
Enfield
G3/Cetme/hk91
Ar-15/M16

The one in question has no markings except what I believe is a serial number. I can’t find anything else. It is unknown if the scabbard is for it, but it does fit pretty well. Any help would be appreciated!

Long blade too so probably VZ98/29 Persian bayonet? https://www.gunboards.com/threads/czechoslovakian-bayonets-a-work-in-progress.329622/
