This combination lot features a Type 6X4 AK bayonet taken from a 'Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) separatist soldier at Avdiivka in 2024 and a 'Z' ("Za pobedu") morale patch taken from another pro-Russian separatist during the 2024 Kursk operation. These militias, first raised by SVR/GRU agent provocateurs like the notorious Igor "Strelkov" Girkin in 2014, gradually evolved into conscript armies, their personnel mostly being used for cannon fodder by Russian commanders during the so called "Special Military Operation". The bayonet interestingly has a rudimentary hand-etched skull with beret on its front face. The patch is in good condition patch and features white embroidery on a black background and velcro hook on its reverse.

Each one of the trophy items featured in this auction comes with a certificate of authenticity.
