  • Arisaka Bayonet, TALW Arsenal

    Arisaka Bayonet, TALW Arsenal (Lot: 329)

    Arisaka Bayonet, TALW Arsenal, Johnson Variation I, Labar Variation Q (LB-145)

    This is a Japanese Arisaka bayonet manufactured by the TALW Arsenal. It follows the standard configuration with a straight, single-edged blade, long fuller, and hooked quillon guard, with grips of wood secured by two screws. The ricasso is marked with the TALW arsenal stamp.

    In Johnson’s system this bayonet is classified as Variation I, while in Labar’s reference it appears as Variation Q (LB-145). Its rarity is rated as 3, considered uncommon.

    The bayonet is housed in a Jinsen-type steel scabbard, identified in Labar as LBS-13. This scabbard is not frequently encountered, though in this case it has a visible crack, which is a notable detractor to condition. The suspension frog is the LBF-59 type, completing the set.
