Hi Stefan, My best guess is East German, (DDR), AK47 6X2 bayonet. The scabbard is definitely E.G. AK47 first variation that has been reworked and belt hanger replaced.
The E.G. bayonets usually have a solid dark blueing on the hilt and black plastic grip panels. In the pictures you finish seems to be worn thin, especially on the crossguard. The E.G. issue numbers are usually lightly engraved. Perhaps they have worn out or been scrubbed?
PIcure below shows markings. Regards, Mike
