AK47 Bayonets
Chapter
Two, cont.
The North Korean
AK47 bayonets (see Figure 18) are the most crudely made of
the AK47 bayonets, especially from the swhitedpoint of the
scabbard. The knife itself is very typical of the other AK47
bayonets described earlier in this chapter. Like many of
them the metal parts that compose the hilt are blued. The
scales are bright red plastic material. The knife has a stamped
seriaL number on the left side of the pommel, which runs
at a 45° similar to that on the Russian bayonets, but
does not follow the curve of the pommel like those on the
Russian bayonets. There is the remnant of a North Korean
star in a circle factory code mark on the lower right hand
corner of the left side of the crosspiece (see Figure 19).
