Okay, I need some expertise… Stabby I’m NOT good at…
I ‘think’ this is a Japanese Model 30 from Nagoya… Hooked quillion gave it away
No hangar, and it’s been used, but all original including the wood and the ‘button’ sheath… I ‘think’ it fits a Arisaka rifle.
I think this is the Nagoya Armory mark.
Not a pristine blade, some rust…
Looking for a good home for this, since I don’t have a rifle to put it on. Make offer… 🙂
Dude:
That is the Toyota armory mark….tri-oval.
Can it be marketed on ebay? That would get you top dollar.
Can’t help NFO. I’m no good with stabby either =)
Can be marketed on eBay – that’s where I got my 1942 Ishapore bayonet.
Joe- LOL, probably… sigh
Opus- I don’t and WON’T give ebay a penny of my money.
Keads- Thanks anyway…
NC- See above. I’d rather sell at a cheaper price to somebody that actually needs it…
My ex- gun-club buddy Jim collects Arisakas, but probably already has plenty stabby things. I know he occasionally shoots them with the stabby-hanger attached, for fun and to see where the projectile goes.
Doesn’t Neanderpundit have an Arisaka?
NC- LOL… I’m sure…
Ed- Dunno, I’ll check.
I’ve passed the word to Og. I think both he and Partner collect such things.
I do have an ari, but it’s been sporterized.
That looks like a type 30,variation A, though I don’t exactly recognize the blade. Most of the type 30’s I’ve seen have had a dropped point, but they may have been over aggressively sharpened.
It is, as you correctly say, Nagoya. I have seen one or two fine Nagoya type 38’s, and if I had one that had an intact mum, you can bet I’d put that bayo on the front of it. Keep it posted here and unless you’re desperate for cash, I bet you’ll pull down some good money for it. Good steel. Probably a good Benjamin there.
Well, at least I remembered correctly.
Sort of.
MC- Thanks!
Og- Thanks, and this one looks like an original point. Doesn’t appear to be a drop point and it’s the correct length (now that I’ve used y’all to go find it)
Ed- Thanks!
Yup, it’s an Arisaka bayonet Type 30. Nancy R. has an Arisaka that fits it, but even though her bayonet & scabbard is rather beat up, it IS the bayonet that was captured with the rifle. . .
Geodk- NICE!!! 🙂
I had one that looked very much like yours, but…it was French. The blade had 1873 engraved on the blade with French stampings. From the date, it could have been a relic of the Franco-Prussian War. Or…maybe not. I found it in the basement of an old house we once rented. Someone stuck it up in the overhead joists.
Interesting blade.
Crucis- This one is apparently early WWII… And it’s been used…
