I'm very sad. Mike, you will be missed very much.
Thank you for everything.

The knives and scabbards of the Polish 6H4 are of Polish origin in terms of the materials used.
I believe the author of this description was referring to the black plastic scabbard.
The black scabbard is made of the same material as the brown one, but it was simply given a very thick black coating ...

If the front sight carrier in the picture below has a rail at the back, the bayonet can be securely and permanently attached to it. Only the muzzle compensator is a bit very short, it may be that it does not belong to the M.64 variant shown and a different compensator was screwed on just for photo ...

I also considered the Yugo M.64.
As far as I know, there was no bayonet intended for this, but you never know what the Yugo. had been tinkering with.

If the gas pickup bracket (circled in blue) has a rail at the bottom (blue line), there is still about 2.5cm missing from the gas pickup bracket to ...

Champing knife made from Yugolavian M.70A (6X3) bayonet
Bypassing the license for the production of AK47 rifles, Yugoslavia secretly manufactured them from 1965 onwards with the accompanying 6X3 bayonet.
When Yugoslavia officially acquired the license in 1970, these bayonets were obsolete, so they ...

I know this bayonet, it's Iraqi. I don't like the combination.
I've never seen a DDR M.59/2 - M.74 sheath on an Iraq mix. And the Romanian green webbing hanger is also atypical for it.
Otherwise, I agree with Mike's comment.
The achieved auction price was still acceptable.

Ich kenne dieses Bajonett ...

Poor museum, not very informative. I would have expected more from a weapons museum.

Rum. Flat pommel bayonet scabbards with B, Z and no letters.

Alexander, thanks for the Photos!
Unfortunately, I can't see a clear line or standard on the acceptance stamps of the Romanian bayonets. This is probably due to the mentality of the Romanians. Apparently they didn't invent quality work. Unfortunately, it is very rare to find bayonets with a clear ...

If I see it correctly, you have the two variants that Mike mentioned in his post from December 19, 2015.
I would also be interested in the Cigur logos on the base behind the retaining ring and all the acceptance stamps.
Very nice bayonets.

These hangers were only produced in 1968.
This can only be proven with replacement scabbards and replacement bayonets in packaging. It is not 100% possible to date Ak-bayonets that have been issued since they could have been exchanged with other carrying devices from the most varied of production ...
