Arisaka Type 30 Bayonet for the Type 99 Rifle - Original Japanese WW2.

This is a fine quality example of the classic Japanese 1897 (type 30) Arisaka rifle
bayonet complete with fullered 15" blade. Hooked quillon cross guard and wood
grip scales, this bayonet comes with a correct all steel scabbard.

This is an original bayonet and not a copy.

The Type 30 bayonet was a bayonet designed for the Imperial Japanese Army to be
used with the Arisaka Type 30 Rifle, which was later used on the Type 38 and Type 99
rifles, the Type 96 and Type 99 light machine guns, and the Type 100 submachine
gun.
Some 8.4 million were produced, and it remained in front-line use from the
Russo-Japanese War to the end of World War II. All Japanese infantrymen were
issued with the Type 30, whether they were armed with a rifle or pistol, or even if
they were unarmed. Because of its reliability, it was a valuable tool for the Japanese
army.

The Rifle for this Bayonet is found under Lot# 27
