how rare is a Chinese AK type 2 bayo and sheath in redish orange bakelite

[hoopharted]

been looking for a nice example for a while now and cant find any in any condition , are they hens teeth?

[Greatguns]

I haven't seen one of those for quite a while now. What little I do see are the Romy Bayonets w/frogs

[hoopharted]

i actually picked a Romy bayo up for like $12 bucks , i see Russian AK bayos for upwards to $200 , Atlantic had the black Chinese like the one on my 86S but are sold out  , but the orange bakelite are not to be found

Yeah, they were pretty coveted 10-15 years ago already so I imagine they are going to be a hard find. Can you say "needle in a haystack"?

Are you referring to these? 







They have seemed to fall off in availability in the past 10 years, or so. I'd sure like to find a set of Chinese furniture, hint, hint.    Yeah, I realize I'd have to kick in a fair amount on my end, too. 



(Also available in black...)



We really need an emoji of a Hen with big buck teeth!

Cool, that was quick...

How much did you end up having to shell out for the orange one? I think you said that you already had a black one for your 86S? Just curious what they're worth nowadays.

If you ever run across that other set of Chinese furniture, let me know. I was high bidder for a while on the set you posted on Gunbroker. I messed up and didn't recheck it before the auction ended and somebody else swooped in and picked it.    If the Buyer doesn't follow through on his bid, let me know and I'll give you what he was supposed to.
