Which bayonet?

[bali028]

Hello,

I have a bayonet but I'm not sure which type is it. It is an AK74 Bulgarian or a Russian 6X5 type? I think this is the Bulgarian type.

Regards, bali028

I would say Russian.

+1: the frog is Russian. Bulgarian frog is black, imo.

Im not an expert but I agree with it being Russian. Bottom of scabbard has the Russian Izhevsk factory mark (arrow in triangle). The Bulgarian ones have the Bulgarian Arsenal mark of 10 within a circle on the cross guard and scabbard.

I've never held a Russian one but my Bulgarian one feels really cheap and nasty.

And last but not least, the Russian plastic (resin) exercise model:





Exists also with blade painted silver!
Fits an AK74.
