This bayonet resembles very close the German made SG42 bayonet. It is believed to be produced by a German company named: HUBERTUS-Solingen (Some say Carl Eickhorn- Solingen) and distributed, together with the rifles, by Interarmco - USA in 1959 in a very limited number. 
Between 3.700 and 4.500 examples only were ever made. Including 450 for Guantamala, 500 for Burma and approx. 500 - 1.000 for Indonesia. Not many survived. 

A very rare bayonet in a near MINT condition. This is the best example we have ever seen!
