Kalashnikov Bayonets of the World

Welcome

Looks like a green one to me.

Welcome! Impressive collection. I would enjoy seeing more close ups of the first four bayonets "Russian Rare".

Yes, congratulations. I know I slept well the day I finally bagged mine.

I checked mine and there is no mark or scrubbed mark on the bayonet, but there is a WINDLASS marking on the scabbard.

Wishing you well and a resolution for your pain.

Good stuff. I saved this as .pdf. Can .pdfs be uploaded here?

Agreed, fake.

A couple more pics.

This is my example of an early Russian two hook hanger. It is missing the belt loop.

I suspect the recently listed AIMS 74 bayonets on Ebay came from Arms of America when they were selling mismatched serial numbered ones for $119.95

I also don't have one of these yet, but $250 for mismatched serial numbers is too rich for my blood. I remain hopeful that more of these will pop up down the road for less money.

Done Yes, thanks for the reminder and the forum.

These are available from What A Country for $39.95 as well:

I'll bet the blade has a very distinct odor to it. I bought a fake off ebay cheaply a while ago just to check it out with similar looking metal and it smells really odd like like hot brakes. Don't know where it originated from, but suspect Pakistan, China, etc.

It is a Russian bayonet as I recall from the listing on Gunbroker. I bought some bayonets from this same seller. Was that you bidding against me for that nice Russian 6x3? I think field expedient hangers are interesting and if I ever downgrade the collection, I could see concentrating on just that f...

Yes, terrific pics and always hopeful more of these bayonets show up.

I have a reworked Izzy 6x4 with a red lacquer over it with a stamped serial number on the back cutter plate "3151", but I have not seen one with stamped serial numbers on the front.

Pictures please!

Yes, definitely Romanian per Mr. B. Cugir arsenal mark on pedestal seals the deal. Nice serialization! My two examples are serialized ST 1553 and EF 0879.
