Japanese WWII Type 30 Bayonet, Early Production Nagoya

Original era manufacture. An early production bayonet featuring a bright finished blade, hooked guard, contoured wood grips and a blue finished steel scabbard. The blade is bright, showing minor scattered discoloration from oil and age, with some minor nicks to the cutting edge at the tip. Nice wood grips with a varnished finish, which look factory done. Mix of dark steel patina and blue finish to the pommel and guard. Clean original finish scabbard with some very light, scattered surface corrosion, and a few very shallow dents on the reverse.
