Not much of a picture, no details. Not sure what to say. Bayonet appears to be an East German AKM 6X3 Type I. I believe I can see a manufactures mark on the crossguard. I can’t even guess what the scabbard is. Type I with a machined cutter plate? Could be E.G.. Insulator is not E.G. Possibly Hungarian or Romanian. Belt hanger is not E.G., Your guess is as good as mine. Wrist strap appears to be Romanian? I would call this a “mixmaster”, not much of a collectors item. Mike

Thank you so very much for your help Mike! I assumed it was a mismatch... The owner have bought it when he was in Lebanon. As you said, not much of a collectors item but for the owner it is special because of the place he got it from so to speak.
Thank you!
