Original Finnish Cold War Era M1962 Valmet Rifle Bayonet With Scabbard by the Fiskars Co.
-
Original Item: Only One Available. Now this is a rather interesting bayonet. The bayonet itself is in fantastic condition and appears to not have been used other than being carried. This is a knife bayonet for use with the 5.56 mm. and 7.62 mm. Rynnäkkökivääri (assault rifle) 62, 71, & 76 series produced by Valmet. The Rk62, Rk71, & Rk76 are all variants of the Kalashnikov AK47.
This example was produced by the world-famous Fiskars Corporation and the maker mark can be found on the grip scale.
The bayonet and scabbard are patterned on the Czech VZ–58 bayonet. It also resembles a traditional Finnish Puukko knife and bears a resemblance to an American sportsmen's fishing knife. Unlike most bayonets, the parkerized clip-point blade is factory-sharpened. The press stud is located in the middle of the gray-green molded plastic grip. The riveted green scabbard is stiff pebble-grained leather.
The Valmet rifles are generally accepted to be the most sophisticated refinement of the AK47 design, manufactured with a level of fit and finish comparable to the best western arms. Having fired the Rk71 myself, I can attest that these rifles truly are the Rolls-Royce of AK47s.
This example is in wonderful condition and comes more than ready for further research and display.
