HERE IS A 100% GUARANTEED ORIGINAL / AUTHENTIC WWII JAPANESE TYPE 30 / TYPE 99 ARISAKA BAYONET WITH SCABBARD MAKER MARKED BY (KOKURA RIKUGUN ZOHEISHO ARSENAL). AFTER WWII AND AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE KOREAN WAR WWII ARISAKA RIFLES AND BAYONETS WERE REDESIGNED AT A JAPANESE ARSENAL UNDER U. THE ORIGINAL 7.7 CALIBER ARISAKA RIFLE WAS TURNED INTO SHOOTING THE FAMOUS 30-06 CALIBER U. S BULLET AND THE RIFLES WERE RESTAMPED 30-06.
THE WWII JAPANESE BAYONETS WERE NOT TOUCHED AT ALL, THEY JUST GOT REPAINTED, ARSENAL MARKED F-6 AND REFITTED WITH A U. MILITARY STYLE FROG / HANGER ASSEMBLY.
THESE RIFLES AND BAYONETS WERE THEN GIVEN TO THE SOUTH KOREAN MILITARY IN THE VERY EARLY PART OF THE KOREAN WAR UNTIL THE U. WAS ABLE TO SUPPLY THE SOUTH KOREAN MILITARY WITH THE U. M1 GARAND RIFLE WHICH BECAME THE STANDARD RIFLE FOR THE SOUTH KOREAN MILITARY.
THE WWII JAPANESE 30-06 CALIBER ARISAKA RIFLES AND BAYONETS WERE THEN DESTROYED, THERE WAS JUST NEED FOR THEM AT THIS POINT. VERY VERY FEW OF THE 30-06 ARISAKA RIFLES AND BAYONETS EVER MADE IT BACK TO THE U.THE BAYONET AND SCABBARD SHOW NORMAL WEAR. THE SCABBARD IS IN PERFECT CONDITION, THERE ARE NO DENTS, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE TINY DING ON IT. WITH A QUICK CLEANING AND OILING, THIS BAYONET AND SCABBARD SHOULD COME OUT TO BE A REAL PIECE. THIS WILL MAKE A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION. BESIDES THAT, I REALLY DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS BAYONET AND SCABBARD, I BELIEVE THE PICTURES TELL THE WHOLE STORY, IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL.
