German AKM Type II Bayonet

German AKM Type II Bayonet

East Germany produced the Type II bayonet from 1985–1987, when the AK74 bayonet was to be introduced. This never occurred, due to east-west reunification. The orange grip AKM Type II is believed to be the initial East German production and is more finely finished than the later black grip bayonets. Gray web retention strap. The leather belt hanger on late Type II scabbards is 4.75 in. (122 mm.) long, noticeably longer than the belt hanger used on Type I and Type I Transitional scabbards.
