Bulgarian AK74 6X5 Type III Hanger Variations
Thought I would document the different Bulgarian AK74 6X5 Type III hanger variations I have observed. It seems the earliest ones are a carry over from the AKM 6X4 Type II bayonets. The are the standard single hook style made of smooth brown leather. Next came the same style with the same hardware, but made with smooth black leather. The latest variations are the same basic style but made from a black fabric, (tarpaulin). They have all new black hardware and have a snap hilt strap fastener. The second version of this new hanger also incorporates a second snap on the belt loop allowing the hanger to be easily removed from the belt, with or without the bayonet and/or scabbard. Mike

I have one with the brown leather, and two with the black leather, but not the new one. The snap on the belt loop makes sense.
