U.S.S.R. Dragunov (SVD) 7.62mm Wire Cutter Bayonet (1st Model). BAYO 358. Bayonets

The Dragunov SVD is a semi-automatic designated marksman rifle chambered in the fully-powered 7.62×54mmR cartridge, developed in the Soviet Union. The SVD was designed to serve a squad support role to provide precise long-range engagement capabilities to ordinary troops. The bayonet has an unfullered bowie type blade with an adaption for a pair of wire cutters paired with the scabbard. The aperture engages with the scabbard to form a pair of wire cutters. The orange composite grips are in very nice condition, the spring catch works as it should. The serrated blade is in good condition *small nicks to the sharp edge that will sharpen out*. The metal scabbard holds the majority of its original paint and comes with its original red lanyard. Blade length; 14 ¾ cm (28 cm overall).
