Pommel Side has serial number Made: WWII / Germany. Model: AK-47 Condition: VG-Exc. Oct 31, 2011 Hi All, I found an early style AK 47 bayonet earlier today.presumably Russian.but the only marking I can find is a four digit serial number, 1869, on.

After bayonet was made it was sent to control check. If everything was ok it got control marks, mostly 'K' or 'K' and some number.

After that bayonet got serial number. There are two basic types of numbers on Yugo bayonets. First one are stamped 'fat' numbers and you may find them on domestic models, other are thin and you may find them on export models.

Also export models didn’t get control marks. If bayonet did not pass control check it was repaired and sent again to control check, got control marks and serial number with R- prefix. Sometimes when factory had to produce large numbers of bayonets in short time domestic and export models were mixed, some bayonets got serial number only on bayonet or scabbard, some did not get any number pr control mark There were no special rules about number order, so higher number does not mean that bayonet was made after one with lower number. Actually no one in factory didn’t care about numbers on bayonets or about bayonets. And here is 'bad' news for collectors. Serial numbers on M70 bayonets are great, but control marks on domestic models and frogs At the time I have 19 M70 bayonets in collection plus two more that will become part of collection when I take photos of them, note down all details Anyway, they all have different marks and different frogs.
