North Korean AKM, (M 68), bayonet
Hi, mates !
Wanna show you an very interesting bayonet.
This, north-korean, "M 68", bayonets, (and assault weapons), were exported to Cuba.
Cuba, (in turn), exported such weapons to revolution-forces in Grenada, Colombia, and, Panama.
BTW, Cuba was involved in Angola in the mid 70´s.
In 1989 in Panama the US captured a lot of weapons during "Operation Cause Panama".
Huge stocks of such "M 68" bayonets were given to the GI´s as "souvenier".
That´s the reason why, you can find such bayonets in the US, but, it´s very hard to find such bayonets here in Europe !
Best regards,
R.
P.S.:
As far as I know, such bayonets also were exported to Peru

Greetings Reibert,
that’s a nice bayonet you have posted. I got mine from directly from an Arms’ Room in Panama, but of course for free:-)

Congratulations Reibert, it is very hard to find, most of the collectors in Hungary (including me) are missing this type.
Any informations about the produced quantity?
