the only problem I see with dedicated threads is nobody checks them. The general threads get most of the traffic. But I am down for whatever

Oh I know, threads like that don't get too much play, but I think a few stickies dedicated to preserving knowledge about the history, would be a benefit to everyone especially new users to come. I see so many of the old sites where you could find info going down, and even places where it's still there the outdated picture hosting means all the pics are gone even if the basic info remains.
Would like to create an area to aggregate all that knowledge and preserve it for future generations.

This is true. I did one about a year ago on the various Ak bayonets, using my own collection of 72. Initially there was a lot of interest, then it faded away and I don't believe anyone has hit it since last July. dryflash3 kept it from going into the archives, but without a sticky, it's hard to find and keep all that historical data in the forefront. Not to self...I have added a few new Ak bayonets since the original post and will have to update it.
These are the two types you are missing - there may be more but these are the ones I know.
There are some older Hungarian 5 cell 30 rounders that are all cloth or canvas - grayish or greenish colors with tan cloth canvas slings.
There is a late green vinyl 30 rounder pouch that has a woven cloth canvas sling instead of the earlier leather sling. The cloth sling might have some nylon in it - it resembles the late Hungarian "mint" green cloth rifle slings in color and texture. They are often seen being used by Croatian soldiers during the Balkans conflict and I've seen a few photographs of them from Middle East conflict zones.
Bought my first 4 cell green cloth canvas Hungarian pouch around 1991 shortly after the wall came down - still have it and use it.
I'll add photos of those missing ones when I get time.
CarlosC - your bayonet collection rocks.

You are missing the canvas 5 magazine, the newer green Vinyl 3 and 5 with Velcro, and lastly, the black with velcro. Also a super rare camo 5 magazine pouch.
