EAST GERMAN AK-47 BAYONET WITH SCABBARD MFG GERMANY

East German AK47 Knife bayonet for use with the 7.62 mm. Maschinenpistole Kalashnikow (MPiK) Kalashnikov AK47 assault rifle.

A copy of the Russina 6X2 bayonet, the East German Modell 47 bayonet is distinguished by the black plastic grip scales, and gray web belt hanger with a glove fastener.

The reason for the unusual grip and second partial muzzle ring was that the bayonet was an afterthought, the AK47 not being initially designed to accept a bayonet.

In great condition with scabbard, and spotless integral webbing belt-hanger. Getting very hard to find now, especially in this condition.

Communist East Germany produced the Modell 47 bayonet from 1959–1965.
