There is also a Finnish folding bayonet, I believe a Model 1960. It's rather scarce.

Porterkids- Thanks, didn't know the Finns produced a folder. I have a Finnish M62 Bayonet, very different. no guard, plastic handle, and gray-green leather sheath. Have to see if I can find a photo of the folder. SKIP

I saw two or three of these at a show in Poughkeepsie, NY about 15+ years ago. They weren't very expensive but I didn't buy one that day figuring that they were going to be around in bulk like the other Turkish stuff that was on the market at the time. Haven't seen another one since and I'm still kicking myself for not buying one when I had the chance. I'd love to see some pictures of yours.
