Got a parcel yesterday with three AK bayonets yesterday...
This is what I believe is a North Korea bayonet...
Should really appreciate opinions... Good and bad...

Re: North Korea
This is a typical North Korean AKM M-68 bayonet and scabbard. Nice condition with green(?), fabric hanger. Supposedly the green hanger indicates export production. A tan hanger is thought to be for internal NK use. These bayonets have been supplied to many third world countries. Mr. B.

Re: North Korea
Nothing wrong with that, nice piece.
It would be perfect if there were stamps on the grip head, unfortunately these stamps are almost always badly hammered in.

Unfortunately I can´t find any markings with a quick look but I shall take a closer look later today...

Re: North Korea
Hi Gerhard, I didn't know you were interested in N.K. markings. Here are my 2 examples. First 2 picture are of one with green hanger the next 2 are one with tan hanger. Not much there!? Mike

Re: North Korea
This is really frustrating
I haven't seen a single one with a clear stamp.
I still have examples of stamps here but not clean.

Re: North Korea
This stamp is the most common to find.

Hi,
Last time I disassemble a north Korean one, I found markings on tang. Perhaps a way to search......................
