Pre-WWII Japanese Type 30 Arisaka Bayonet by Tokyo Arsenal with inspection stamp For Sale

This is an early WWII Japanese Arisaka Rifle Type 30 Tokyo Arsenal Bayonet with rare inspection stamp.The Kokura Arsenal mark was used from 1935-1945. The Koishikawa Arsenal (Tokyo) showed the same marking and the pieces were made from 1870-1935. The bayonet shows a curled quillon (seen in rare prewar variations) with naval type cross guard and full metal scabbard/sheath with rounded tip. The piece shows very good condition overall, with some wear. The wooden grips show age & discoloration. However, the blade is extremely bright and remains untouched, as if it were covered for quite some time; unfortunately, no scabbard is present. The pommel is stamped with the serial number 324952.
