Bayonet-knife for use on the caliber .30–06 M1 Garand rifle.

This bayonet was produced by A. Eickhorn-Solingen (AES), in West Germany, for the government of Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier of Haiti. It is believed that a the bayonets were produced in 1985–86, but deliveries had not began by February 1986, when Duvalier went into exile. AES stopped production and sold what they had already produced on the commercial market.

These bayonets are very well made, exhibiting a level of fit and finish not found on U.S.-made examples. The blade has the characteristic AES plum-colored finish and the unique Haitian serial number. The grip is secured with Phillips-head screws.
