Very good condition original WWII
Japanese Type 30 Arisaka bayonet that has Hikari Seiki “Tokyo Hourglass”
manufacturer markings on the right ricasso. This is a late war bayonet with
unfullered blade and straight crossguard. This interesting bayonet comes with
original scabbard that was reissued to the South Koreans during the Korean War
along with Type 99 Rifles converted to .30-06 caliber. Scabbard was modified by
adding a US GI style belt loop with handle straps and belt hook. The Japanese
Police also reissued bayonets in this fashion. Blade has original blue finish
showing some wear. Hilt has original blue finish showing some normal wear. Wood
grips have original finish and a good tight fit with a few scrapes. Lock button
functions fine. Scabbard has nice Korean green paint and a few dents. Handle
straps have working snap. An interesting bayonet for your collection.
