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

Thank 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. NBS

Why not put it up on the WTS for a decent buck and move it along, now you can show them who made it and all...it's earlier than the one Stewart's shows. It's a hooked quillion and the one they show is last ditch almost. It's nice... Cheap is still a gift.

Should clean up nicely. Like Jim says, might get you a little closer to that something you've had your eye on.

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.

Thank You Jon for Posting that Website. It does have some pretty cool pictures on it with some really good information about it and some others. I really enjoyed going through it. I think I might try to see if I can remove some of that old varnish.
