Knife bayonet for use with the 7.62 mm. Maschinenpistole Kalashnikow (MPiK) Kalashnikov AK47 assault rifle.
A copy of the Russian 6x2 bayonet, the East German Modell 47 bayonet is distinguished by the black plastic grip scales, electropencil serial number on the crosspiece, and gray web belt hanger with a glove fastener.
East Germany produced the Modell 47 bayonet from 1959–1965.
The reason for the unusual grip and second partial muzzle ring was that the bayonet was an afterthought, the AK47 not being initially designed to accept a bayonet.
The grip feels cold to the touch, the bright black coloration seems endless. It consumes you.
Very beautifull bayonet one of my favorite, you need hold it to understand its beauty.
