BA 755

Thats true Gerhard, there are som faint markings there. I’ll try to get pics of all stampings.

Thanks Mike,

From a few sources I have heard that the “C” only has been observed on bayonets within the A10xx range. Can any one confirm their observations in regards to th...

I just recently added two new Romanian 6x4 bayonets.
One being an “A1170” serialized SA contract and a regular Romanian army issued.
Here is pictures of the SA contract bayonet. It came complete with the original strap and hanger.
