Bulgarian
AK47 Bayonets
Chapter
Two, cont.
The Bulgarians produced
an AK47 type bayonet almost identical to the Russian version. Figure 7 shows
an original Bulgarian bayonet as issued. The knife is essentially identical
to the early Russian version except it does not have a factory code mark and
the serial number runs perpendicular to the axis line of the bayonet and is
machine engraved approximately centered in the pommel (see Figure 8). The scales
also appear to be redder in color than those on the Russian knife and have
less of a mottled appearance.
The scabbard shows more
differences from the Russian version than the knife does. It uses the same
early pattern wide metal band split in the back to accommodate the hanger and
is blued. The scabbard shows a distinct sanding pattern different from the
Russian version with approximately the top one-third being sanded in a horizontal
pattern and the bottom two-thirds being sanded in a vertical pattern. The drain
hole at the tip of the scabbard is also located on the backside whereas the
Russian version is on the front side of the scabbard.
