WWII Japanese Type 30 Bayonet & Scabbard - This Imperial Japanese Army Type 30 sword bayonet features a blued single-edged steel blade with deep fullers, paired wood grip scales held by flush screws, and a steel crossguard with hooked quillon and press-stud catch. The ricasso is clearly stamped with the stacked cannonballs / Tokyo Artillery Arsenal (Tokyo Hohei Kosho) mark alongside the Hikari Seiki Seisakusho sub-contractor mark (hourglass within a circle). The piece includes its original sheet-metal scabbard. The steel scabbard shows an overall aged dark oxidation and light surface wear, while the blade remains in very clean, pristine condition preserved under a light layer of cosmoline; the wood grips show light scattered handling wear and minor scuffs commensurate with age. H 20”, W 3”, D 1.5”. Please see photos for condition.
