I'm looking at an M5A1 bayo for auction, and the guy says it has AKI and US M5A1 on it, those are the only markings. Could this be a korean make? The only 2 I know for sure are US are imperial and milpar, so AKI is new to me
Thanks again

pete , the M5 , M5-1 , M5A1 , were made in the US by aerial , J&Dtool , imperial , milpar col , and utica , the first three made both , the second last only M5A1 , and the last only M5 [if you find one of the above i can tell you how they should be marked] my example is a J&D TOOL denmark made them marked HTK M/6 , and other foreign countries made them but i have no data on others |

This got me to thinking, and I took a look in the basement and found 1 lol It's german, still in the bag with a funky M8A1 scabbard. It doesn't have the US belt attachment. The bag is marked HMAK and dated feb 1993, the bayo is only marked US M5A1 though. I suppose I should save that one though, but I think I'll look elsewhere for a US marked one. After finding this one, it's no wonder my brother likes to sneak over when I'm not home. I don't even klnow what I'm going to find, and I live here 
Thanks Mike

your welcome pete - sounds like i need to arrange a visit to your basement to help you log what you have
im of the mind that having one good example will sufice me , but thats because i collect rifles - then bayos to go with them , or i collect the rifle because i found a bayo
