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".
December 23, 20214 yr #53 I did a GWOT display at the Patton Museum back on September 11, 2021 and it included displays of US, Iraqi, and Afghan items.
