This is my East German AK47 bayonet, Cir. 1958.

The AK47 bayonet hilt borrows heavily from the Swedish M1914 bayonet, another example where the bayonet was added as an afterthought. Both the AK47 bayonet and scabbard were patterned after Russia's first knife bayonet, the M1940 bayonet used with the 7.62 mm. Tokarev SVT–40 self–loading rifle. Although adequate as a bayonet, the dual muzzle-ring arrangement made the AK47 bayonet awkward, at best, for any other use.

The AK47 6H2 bayonet was produced by Bularia, China, East Germany (shown here), Indonesia, North Korea, Poland, and Russia.
