Perfect Rare Japanese WWII Test Type 1 Paratrooper Knife/Bayonet

Description: From my personal collection is an extremely rare Original WWII Japanese Test Type 1 knife – bayonet, complete with issued frog and scabbard. This Type One Knife/Bayonet is in PERFECT CONDITION. NEVER SHARPENED, PERFECT BLUING AND NO DENTS OR MARKS IN THE SCABBARD. Long referred to as the Type 100 “paratrooper” bayonet, these knives were issued to Japanese paratroopers and the 1st Japanese Army Ranger Force (Dai-ichi Rikugun Teishin-dan) during WWII. The Test Type 1 and the Special Purpose Test Type 1 stand as the only combat / side knives issued by the Imperial Japanese Army. These knives / bayonets were produced at the Toyada Jido Shokki Seisakusho Arsenal, others wise known as “Toyada Automatic Loom Works” or “TALW”. The condition of the bayonet / knife is very good. The blued fullered blade is in very good condition with all the blue remaining. Blade is straight and unbent. The other metal parts are in very good condition as well. Wood grips are in very good condition as are the grip rivets. The push button is in perfect working order. The TALW Arsenal mark is located on the tang. The Bayonet serial number is 4316. The pommel end also has a Nagoya inspector mark as well (see Labar book item LB-234, p. 328 for reference). The original metal scabbard is in good condition with all the blue remaining. Bayonet comes with the original double loop leather frog which is of the type commonly found on these types of knives / bayonets. The bayonet does fit tight into the scabbard. Both rivets are present and appear to have never been removed. Frog scabbard retaining strap is complete and unbroken. Stitching is tight throughout. This Test Type 1 knife/bayonet was used on the Type 2 Tifloe, Type 99 Short and the Type 100 Submachine Gun. This rare, very nice, and complete Test Type 1 paratrooper knife / bayonet is perfect for any collection.You might want to contact me at GunBroker.com (kaydee)!!!!!!!All Reasonable Offers will be Considered Buyer pays State Tax and shipping.
