Russian
AK47 Bayonets
Chapter
Two, cont.
it is very difficult
to tell the difference between Russian and Bulgarian AK47
bayonets. Basically, the only absolute method is to be sure
the knife of the bayonet has a Russian factory mark as
illustrated in Figure 3. This particular factory mark is
for the Izhevsk Machine Works Factory. The factory mark on
all examples observed by the author has been in this same
location. This bayonet is illustrated in Figure 4.
The Russians designate these bayonets the model “56-X-212”.
