how to tell if a bayo is polish or not , is it the marbling? because Bulgaria and Russia have marbled as well

i have one i purchased years ago that was sold as Polish , beautiful bayo , came across this one a couple days ago for $20 , i knew the price was awsome , i grabbed it and a Bulgarian AK74 type III they had for $40

it is identical to the other one i know as Polish , , i know Russian will have a Tula star or the Izzy triangle , the Bulgarians use the circle 10 , is it just the absence of these markings is what tells you it is polish?

Looks Polish to me. I’m pretty sure the black insulator is the giveaway.

Very fine like any metal polish. Been around for decades. Used to polish my cragar ss mags back in the late 80s.

Looks Polish to me.  Great deal on both of those.  

I have been looking for a Bulgarian for a while but the prices that I have found have been way too high.

i find 90% of mine locally so no shipping costs added  , good pawn shops , flea markets , indoor antique or kick knack malls , FB Market , not saying they are always priced reasonable ,but generally are and the lack of shipping costs helps even more , there are a couple online vendors i keep an eye on for the more stubborn finds
