Polish Presentation Bayonets:
AK-47 / early AK-74
6H4 style Polish Presentation Bayonets

These examples are of two presentation bayonets built for Ted Marshall of marshall Arms in Tucson, Arizona. One is a typical Polish bayonet the other is a parade style with a polished nickel finish

These were engraved / etched with his name and a thank you for his service to the Fabryka Broni factory in Radom, Poland

Being collectors items these two have only been opened for viewing less than 5 times, we were happy to get a chance to photograph them for our websites

This is a new issue type Polish Bayonet 6H4
However the factory name and logo are etched on the sheath and the message to Ted Marshall is etched on the blade

New frog and wrist strap are hard to find on many Polish bayonets in the US

While being a presentation bayonet, this one still has it's rubber insulator, wire cutter (hole and lug) and no saw on the blade, like a typical Polish bayonet

Nickel plated Polish Presentation Bayonet

This is a true presentation bayonet finished in polished nickel
It's so highly polished the camera couldn't get great pics, so it looks dark, but it's got a completely mirrored finish all over

Although it's a polish bayonet, the presentation version has a very cool saw back that is very similar to the German KM-87 (survival Bayonet) but this Polish Presentation Bayonet has a longer saw

A better shot showing off the mirrored finish on all the metal parts.

Back of the blade and sheath. Blade has a blood groove on this side
While wirecutter drop is in place, no cut out on the blade or lug on the scabbard

Typical Polish Bayonet (6H4)
This is however new in the wrapper, never issued

While we were taking the pictures of the presentation bayonets Ted offered to let us take pictures of his brand new Polish Bayonet which he received with a full auto Polish underfolder that they imported as a Dealer Sample

This bayonet is still in it's factory paper wrapping and has only been opened a few times. Quite rare to see a military bayonet in such great condition
