$75.00The Story
Original Item: Only One Item Available. This is an excellent condition, service used WWII issue Japanese Model 30 Arisaka rifle bayonet manufactured by an unknown maker under the supervision of Kokura Arsenal in the Kyūshū Island of Japan. It is the later pattern with a blued steel blade, rounded grip retained by rivets, and hooked quillon. It comes complete with its original steel scabbard.
The condition of the bayonet is nice, with some of the original finish but also heavy wear. The wooden grip scales are great, and the scabbard has a great finish and some heavy wear. The serial number on the pommel is 24951.
This would pair perfectly with any Arisaka rifle.

History of the Type 30 Bayonet-
The Type 30 bayonet (三十年式銃剣 sanjunen-shiki juken) was a bayonet designed for the Imperial Japanese Army to be used with the Arisaka Type 30 Rifle and was later used on the Type 38 and Type 99 rifles. 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.
Type 30 Bayonet was a single-edged sword bayonet with a 400 millimetres (15.75 in) blade and an overall length of 514 millimetres (20.24 in) with a weight of approximately 700 grams. The Type 30 bayonet is also known as the "Pattern 1897 bayonet". Early Type 30 bayonets usually sported a hooked quillion guard that gave it a distinct look, but later models had a straight hand guard.
The design was intended to give the average Japanese infantryman a long enough reach to piece the abdomen of a cavalryman. However, the design had a number of drawbacks, some caused by the poor quality of forgings used, which tended to rust quickly and not hold an edge, and to break when bent.
These bayonets were manufactured from 1897 to 1945 at a number of locations, including the Kokura Arsenal, Koishikawa Arsenal (Tokyo) and Nagoya Arsenal, as well as under contract by private manufacturers including Matsushita, Toyoda Automatic Loom and many others, including Jinsen Arsenal in Occupied Korea.
