Should be grateful for opinions when it comes to this one... These are the only two pictures I have for the moment...

Not Russian. It is a Polish AKM 6H4 Type II bayonet with the correct Type I scabbard, (Poland did not issue a Type II scabbard). Poland is the only AKM bayonet without saw teeth, both 6H3 and 6H4. Hanger and wrist strap are correct for this bayonet and scabbard. I can not see any numbers in these pictures. Perhaps an un-numbered unissued spare? Nice!
