M/62 BAYONET USED BY DENMARK MADE IN GERMANY - ORIGINAL

M/62 bayonet knife used as a field knife by Denmark. Although it would mount to the M1 Garand rifle, it was typically issued as a field knife, without regard to whether the soldier was armed with the M1 rifle.

 

The M/1962 is a copy of the U.S. M5A1 bayonet, adopted by Denmark in 1962. Two production variants exist. both made in Germany. Early production is believed to have been produced by  E & F HORSTER.  These had a peened pommel. Later production had a smooth pommel and were marked "HMAK." These are believed to have been produced by Carl Eickhorn Waffenfabrik.  

 

It is believed that approximately 33,000 M/62 bayonets were procured by Denmark. The scabbard is a copy of the US M8A1, except for the woodgrain colored plastic and British-style belt fastener.

 

Marked HTK. HTK is an abbreviation of Hoerens Tekniske Korps (Army Technical Corps). This marking was used 1960–69.
