National Variation

The AKM bayonet scabbard hanger is the same, but different depending on what nation issued it (just like the bayonets and the scabbards themselves).


Top -> Bottom

Yugoslavian Type II.
Polish 6H4 Type II Transitional.
East German Type I.

All transitional means is they changed to the Type II style bayonet, but kept the old scabbard design.

In Poland's case they weren't unhappy with their Type I model 6H3, but the introduction of the Tantal required the smaller pommel introduced with the Type II.
