WWII Japanese Type 30 Bayonet & Scabbard
Included in this lot we have a World War II Japanese type 30 bayonet with metal scabbard. The bayonet displays a steel blade with a metal guard, wood grip, and metal attachment point. The piece is designed to fit the 7.7mm Type 99 short rifle used in the mid to late years of WWII. The blade shows steel construction with a fuller on each side and a single cutting edge. The blade was marked near the guard with a stack of cannonballs, indicating the bayonet was made by Kokura Arsenal. The back of the attachment point is marked with a serial number and other markings. The sheath is constructed out of steel with a single attachment loop. The piece shows wonderful condition with some light wear across the piece. The bayonet measures 20" long by 15 1/2" long blade.
