Description:
A scarce last ditch Japanese type 30 straight cross guard squared birds head pommel bayonet with its exceptionally rare wooden scabbard. Unfullered blade. Locking catch works but stud is ground down to be level with the pommel surface, this is clearly a very late one as at the end as they were issued to be tied to bamboo poles as a do or die effort. Scabbard retains 80 per cent original dark khaki colour, the string or thin metal binding is still in place and complete, large metal chap and original locket with much original finish remaining.
