This is an authentic Bulgarian 6×2 “Type 1” AK-47 bayonet with military scabbard — a classic early-pattern bayonet developed during the formative years of Kalashnikov service in Eastern Europe.
Historical Background
Following the Soviet adoption of the AK-47, Bulgaria began licensed production of Kalashnikov rifles and accessories in the 1950s at its state arsenal in Kazanlak (Factory 10, now Arsenal AD). The 6×2 bayonet was the first standardized bayonet pattern for the AK platform, originally introduced with the Soviet AK-47 and later produced by allied Warsaw Pact nations, including Bulgaria.
Bulgarian-made 6×2 bayonets are notable for their robust construction, clean machining, and understated markings, often unmarked or lightly marked, reflecting Bulgarian military production practices of the Cold War era. These bayonets were issued with early AK rifles and saw service throughout the Eastern Bloc for decades.
