Dutch made AR 10 Armalite rifle for Sudan. Serial number: 179 on the ricasso. Excellent blued double edged plain blade. German makers name: Mark of star (= Trade mark of HUBERTUS- SOLINGEN? ) , Interarmco, REG. PAT., GERMANY in two rows crisp on the ricasso. Intact leather washer.

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 and this is the best example we have ever seen!

New addition. Pictures will follow soon.
