RAB Posted December 22, 2021 Share #51 Posted December 22, 2021 1 hour ago, Custermen said: I can't see the Polish one. Are these marked to know the county of manufacture? Or is it the color and that shape of the scabbard? I bought this in 1991 after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Most all AK and AKM bayos should have certain markings etc to tell you what county they were made by, a lot of info online im sure about all AK bayonets. This is my iraqi used polish made one.

On the opposite side, there is a small mark almost like a 7 or F. I think I can almost make out something under the paint on my Guard. The handle and scabbard both have a hand-scribed number: "7312".

Nkomo Posted December 23, 2021 Share #53 Posted December 23, 2021 I did a GWOT display at the Patton Museum back on September 11, 2021 and it included displays of US, Iraqi, and Afghan items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved to have brought my full mannequins as it would have been so much better visually. However, we traveled 4 hours one way in a Nissan Rogue, so space was limited.

Major interest in the WWII American Grenade and M1 Mine and WWII M1 Carbine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
