Kalashnikov Bayonets of the World

I came across a couple of bayonets I'm interested in. They are located in the Czech Republic, and the seller is somewhat reluctant to sell abroad. He is however very cooperative otherwise, and suggested to send or hand over the bayonets to someone within the Czech Republic who has more experience ...

This is terrible news, a very sad loss indeed. Mike was very friendly and helpful on the forum. My condolences to everyone that was close to him.

Now sold

I just received the orange variant of the Chinese AKM bayonet. Is it correct that, besides the bulge on the orange variant's scabbard, the scabbards can also differ in length? The orange one is about a centimeter shorter than the black one.

Since not really of interest to me (collecting only from type 6x3 and up), I have a rare type 68 for sale. Condition wise, it has seen better days, but it might still make a good addition to a collection. Asking €250 + shipping.

Due to some duplicates if my collection, I am selling some of the Romanian models. I have the AIMS-74 in every variant regarding the frogs (green nylon, black leather and brown leather), and a 6x4. All are in very good condition, some have the dreaded wear on the open arrow Izhevsk logo on the ...

Thanks Mike! Yes, 3 and 6 have the handwritten serial numbers. The two regular 6x4's are matching and numbered in the - I believe - correct location on scabbard and handles. The two other 6x4 with lightweight pommel aren't numbered. Pictures to follow!

Thank you, very happy with these!

Look for original production variations in the best possible condition. Re-worked examples with miss-matched and forced match numbers should be avoided as any combination is possible and usually wrong. Read all the posts here to learn of all the possibilities.


Thanks, I always try to find them ...

Here's a picture of the Russian models currently in my collection, just added two more 6x4's w. lightweight pommel.

Thanks for that Mike! Yes, the Lithuanian frogs look very nice. Still looking for the desert camo one...here are some more pictures of the 6x4 with camo frog that is currently for sale.

I am sorry Mike, you are right - the bayonet itself is a Russian Izhevsk, like used by Lithuania in combination with their specific frogs. I am sorry if my description suggested this 6x4 had been produced in Lithuania, which is certainly not the case. I can upload some more detailed photo's of the ...
