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...
Best,
Stefan

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.

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.

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

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.

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......................
