East German AKM Type II Bayonet AK 47

Knife bayonet for use with the East German variant of the Kalashnikov AKM assault rifle.

Black plastic grip.  Black plastic scabbard with a gray leather belt hanger. Gray web wrist strap. The leather belt hanger on late Type II scabbards is 4.75 in. long, noticeably longer than the belt hanger used on Type I and Type I Transitional scabbards.

A copy of the Russian 6x4 bayonet, the Type II bayonet was produced by East Germany from 1985-1987, when the AK-74 bayonet was to be introduced. This never occurred, due to east-west reunification. The blade exhibits arced tool marks common to East German bayonets in the last years before reunification.
