Izawa Jyuku Type 99

[gtodan]

Was at my LGS today and found a widow trying to sell/consign some firearms in her late husband's collection. After some discussion her son in law told me they had a Jap bayonet in the car. He brought it in with a large long box under his arm. Behold an Arisaka Type 99 with bayonet. She also showed some capture papers. He was a Navy corpsman. Story goes someone hauled a crate of rifles and bayonets onboard. The skipper said have your pick and these are what he chose.

I am having trouble identifying the series. Should be 4th/9th according to sources. Ground mum. My pic is not so good.

Any ideas? Worth? I am trying to help her sell these. She has an NCO sword also.

Thanks!
