C. 1925: Type 30 Japanese bayonet for Type 38 Arisaka Rifle; Tokyo Arsenal.
Classified as a sword-bayonet, this is an early example with a fullered blade; hooked quillon, contoured grips fastened with screws set in escutcheons, and a contoured birds-head pommel.
The leather frog is a museum-quality replica, whereas the original was rubberized leather or canvas.
