I was heading to the Store and Stopped a Garage Sale and ended buying this for 10.00. I don't have a clue who made this or if it's anything or nothing. Maybe someone might know something about it.

looks like a Jap bayonet with a Kokura Arsenal mark to me, maybe for a Type 30 Arisaka?. But I'm just a casual bayonet collector and only for rifles I own

or this ? http://arms2armor.com/Bayonets/japtyp30.htm
Thank You at least that gives me something to go by. I was looking but couldn't find that mark.
Looks like it was covered in motor oil at one time or is that varnish? Cracked and gross, some acetone will bring it back. Yes, Jap Arisaka bayonet...
Stewarts Military Antiques - - Japanese WWII Type 30 Bayonet , Matsushita Arrow-M Mark, - $135.00
$10 is a good buy for any bayonet. This one is easily $80 and could bring as much as $120 or so if you can get whatever's on it off of it.
DThank You Jim...You nailed it right on the Head. He told me that he had a friend who gave it to him so long ago he couldn't even remember what it was. It probably look descent when it was given to him after he Varnished so much it looked like Class. It's Solid but there's not another place on it for another crack to start. I don't know why I bought it, but if anyone collects these Type of Bayos I'll be happy to Send it to you for a Early Christmas Gift. NBSQuote:

That's really not a Bad Idea Jim, but you know I sell a lot of some really nice descent parts and after this long brutal 10 months that I had to put myself through this nightmare all over again after my Sister I rather like to let these Rock-Ola and NPM TI Flippers out there first. You kinda know what I mean My Friend.Quote:
