    Description

    This is an Arisaka Type 30 bayonet with scabbard and leather frog.  Markings indicate it was made by an "unknown" company under the supervision of the Kokura Arsenal. It has a 20" fullered blade and hooked quillion.  The blade still has a good edge and hasn't been messed with.
    The most interesting feature of this bayonet is the Lucite grip panels.  While Lucite wasn't used by the Japanese, it was quite common for United States troops to use Lucite from damaged aircraft windshields fro pistol grips and bayonet grips.  The condition of the grips, rivets, and tang beneath the grips lead us to believe the grips were put there by a US soldier.  While we can't prove that belief, it surely makes the bayonet much more interesting!
