AKM type I Bayonet . DW135

AKM type I Bayonet. Numbers etched in side of cross guard on one side. Very worn and used condition. Overall, blade in good condition.

Additional Notes: The AKM rifle was introduced in 1960. Among other things, the updated AK47 variant included a bayonet lug. Much easier and cheaper to manufacture than the AK47, production and use of the AKM went worldwide. The inclusion of a bayonet lug allowed for a more conventional bayonet. However, the new bayonet design, what is typically referred to as the AKM Type I, was far from conventional. It was a bit groundbreaking as it incorporated a number of features, making for an incredibly versatile bayonet.
