$595.00

From a long time Japanese WW2 collection..and never offered for sale...We think this will be of great interest to collectors of Japanese WW2 Bayonets. The blued fullered blade was made by \"TALW\" and information on this bayonet can be found on Pg. 167-169 Bayonets of World by Labar. We think this is Variation A..as the blade is bright..not blued..with fullering...The serial is #24,336 and the photos we attached will show the very early diamond pointed UP....The blade is 20 1/8\" (511mm) whereas the next not as rare variation is 20\" length.Labar shows that the early Var. A are very uncommon /Scarce 4. The scabbard photos are attached and we see just a small \"dent\" on one side of the scabbard...Now look at the condition of the blued scabbard and the fullered blade itself. Now to add to the rarity...it is fitted into a WW2 Black Leather Scabbard Covering..and this Leather scabbard case will only fit a Type 30 Japanese Bayonet. We know during the war...The Imperial Japanese Navy used Black..as a sign of Navy issue...the Japanese navy Officers swords are all made with Black fittings...to distinguish them from Army Issue. Also many of the Navy Holsters have been dyed Black...again Navy Issue.. We think this was a custom ..special ordered scabbard covering...for the this exact Type 30 Bayonet.Never seen another like this.....and please look over our other Japanese militaria offerings .
