Kalashnikov Bayonets of the World

Thanks,
You too Marc!

Few more pics

This is my NDM bayonet of my collection. It is the only one I was ever offered and I personally never saw one for sale. Mine came from a European private collection. I think its an interesting piece and when compared to a russian or polish etc, I totally agree it feels kind of toyish. I get the feel...

I often opt for more than one piece of each specific ak bayonet variation, to use em for possible trades in the future. Indeed a good way to acquire other rare stuff out there! would love to see some close up details of that SA contract no A1128. Looks interesting with that darker grip and lighter c...

Hello everybody - merry christmas and happy new year to you also! Greetings from Denmark!! Brian, those are excellent looking variations of the romy type 2’s you got there in your collection.

I was recently offered the Indonesian ak47 bayonet at a reasonable price and so I grabbed it! Its the first one I personally have ever seen for sale and this particular piece shows some crude machinery. There is actually a hole in one side of the grip panels and the plastic shows additional signs of...

I finally got my self one of these Tabuks. I think its one of the most cool and interesting variations of the 6x4 bakelite design, and this one came with a framed memorandum that explains the location of where it was found.

Regarding no 6: what is line 2 and 8 about? I dont understand this.
Thanks
