The
Egyptian Maadi AK47 Bayonet

Here's
a mock up of a German
MPi-KM Folder mixed with the MPi-KM.
This one is made on an imported Egyptian Maadi with
US parts and Egyptian bayonet.
Although this rifle was imported with no bayonet lug,
you can't tell in the pictures.

German MPi-KM Folder
and
here's the MPI-KM


Even
with no lugs the bayonet fits into place.
If it was picked up the bayonet would fall right off...
what a shame

Looking
at the metal & finish of the Maadi and the Egyptian
bayonet you can see the similarities. Well, OK more
in real life than in the pictures perhaps. Both are
very solid and well built.

Three
Egyptian bayonets in great condition. These seem to
be unused / un issued.
No marks, no scrapes nor dents or dings The leather
and rubber are in perfect condition.

From
the back the brass rivets are visable with some paint
on them, not rust. The leather is in perfect unused
condition. Unused leather on the correct type (not from
a different bayonet) is a good indication of an umused
bayonet as the leather wears out faster than just about
any other part of the bayonet.

The
serial numbers match on the bayonet and the scabbards.
The rubber is another indication of the amount of use
the bayonet has seen

Very
little markings other than what's happened in shipping
over the years
is visible on the soft plastic grips

The
canvas strap is still in new condition and the correct
type for this style Ak47 bayonet. Another indication
of the quality of these bayonets.

The
leather on the Egyptian AK47 bayonet is long enough
to wrap easily around the canvas strap. This is not
the same on many other versions of the Ak47 bayonets.

This
shot is supposed to show the matching serial numbers
on the crossguard and the scabbard, but it is a cool
looking shot on it's own

So
here's your matching serial numbers

Pictures like this get taken just to piss off other
collectors
If only they were consecutive numbers...
