Evolution of the East German NVA Bayonet

[@jdeleur5713]

The longer frog loop was for the UTV system.

Very good!

Another great video! I have a modell 59/type I and the modell 74/type II in my collection as well.

Setting aside our bias for the east and west german stuff. I personally think the East German Bayonets are some of the best, they have the wire cutting feature and and relatively compact.

[@jdeleur5713]

Longer belt loop frogs were made for the UTV system belts.

[@OSTWESTLHG]

This is true to a degree, but they’re not exclusive to UTV. If you look at other variants of the AK-74 bayonet on the market, they all come with the longer frog.

NICE!

The Modell 59/1 can have a belt attachment device (Frog) in the plastic material the later Folding Entrenching tool carrier was made of … it splits and wears out quickly ….. the leather one is better.

I was issued a ex NVA Bayonet with Orange Grips in the Bundeswehr under the Designation Kampfmesser Schwer
