What common bayonets do you target
I've grown a pretty good bayonet collection. I have certain wish list bayonets but it made me think of a question. Are there any bayonets you snatch up now because you think they will be either difficult or more valuable in the future?

AKM Bayonet Question
Why does this AKM bayonet have a white wrist strap and a white hanger? I'm an expert in bayonets and I still couldn't find information why all this is white on it. The origin of the picture comes from Facebook, I haven't been able to contact the owner.Google search didn't help me.
