Yugoslavian and Polish Bayonets

[spotter]

A new area of collecting for me are these two bayonets
Yugoslavian M56 knife bayonet for the M1956 sub machine gun


and a Polish Type 2 AKM bayonet

I hope these are inert items. Here is a great bayo site http://worldbayonets.com/Bayonet_Collecting/bayonet_collecting.html. You'll find this field as tricky as ammo. A lot modified and re-used, both officially by arsenals and by Bubba on a farm.

Good start to a new collection. There are a lot of variations of bayonets for the AK type rifles. They can still be found in good or un-issued condition at reasonable prices.

More of ended up with vs collected. Acquired them to go with rifles at one time or another. A few more around that are still attached to respective guns. I do have a bunch of assorted pocket/hunting knives, so bayos are of interest, but not searched for. They're sorta like grenades, once you get one you gotta have more, so be careful Spotter or you'll be in need of a bigger shelf!

This is a very rare death during robbery using a mounted bayonet https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-smoke-shop-robbery-surveillance-video. Spotter, I think they will be banning your collection soon.
The robbery took place in Florida, and they arrested the killer by following a trail of sweat (he wore a winter jacket).
