Kalashnikov Bayonets of the World

I verify mine you're perfectly right Mike, mold are differents

True certainly artificial leather or black vinyl.

I know one of these bayonets here in France, but the guy keep it for him :/

Yes you're right Type 87 rifle is a type 81 modernized experimental rifle but bayonet of this rifle is different:

Chinese type 87:

It's a PM89 bayonet, it's not a black type 81 but an algerian made type 87 bayonet like NICO said

I have a 6x4 type 3 (lightened pommel) with a plum scabbard with no mold number/mark like the one on the left of your picture Mike.

Interesting Mike like always! Thanks

I'm looking your last pics strange mix for sure, that round hook, Izhevsk arsenal logo on the grip and Tula acceptance paint plus Tula arsenal piedestal mark? wow

Take care all

And i will do some pics of bayonets this weekend.

Mike don't give fakers good idea please (just joking)

I bought 10 years ago a "milled variant", i know now for sure that all the milled are fake.
It's the hard way to learn that preferable to know good and official source.

nothing more than an US imported Modell 59/1 bayonet if i understand correctly?

I have both yugo and hungarian bayonet IDF engraved but come from Israël and marks isn't the the same that the one present on fake. 6h5 bulgarian fake marked HC-AK are a mystery for me, what is the interest on doing that, bulgy 6h5 were cheaper and more common to their russian cousins for fure. But ...

I checked mine, same on my bayonet, but no gap/backlash between grip and piedestal crossguard part instead of the later versions that are not adjusted.

i suggest that the grip was milled/grinded in the same time as the crossguard.

Me, i have a lot of free time, confined at home, :/

thanks Mike!

i do not

I am looking for: - some polish AKM T1 bayonets matching, mint or very good shape! - AK47 polish bayonet 1957 - iraqi AKM T2/AK74 T1 (like egyptian brown marble grip) - egyptian "european style numbering" blue grip - Romanian AKM T2 orangle plastic with "B" marks or without marks on scabbard - Indo...

I'm still looking for the last "woodland" camo frog my for these bayonets

These pics show a replica version for airsoft

Only for storage

Yes it's pretty sad, "european" laws makers try to disarm law-abiding citizens, but it's not done yet don't worry about that
