Letter Series Type 56

[Bacarnal]

This is the last of my three blade bayonet Type 56's.  I got her from a dealer in Washington State whom I've dealt with some and is an alright guy.  Her finish is thin due to age but no pitting.  All matching except for the fiberglass stock, which she was sold in, but the stock kinda adds to the aura.  The import stamp is well hidden, being under the barrel behind the front sight block.  Cheers, Bruce.

Nice looker!  I really dig the Chinese fiberglass stocks.  They are at least country correct, even if not if not period correct.  They certainly dress up old warhorses like this one. 

Out of curiosity, what's the import stamp on this one?  I wonder if it might be a post 2014 imported Sino-Banian?

Thanks, all.
RM, importer is CAI ST A VT over SKS 7.62 CHINA. Cheers, Bruce.

Yet another beauty.
I'm generally not a fan of the fiberglass stocks, but this one appears to be a gem.
