Arisaka Bayonet, Matsushita Arsenal (Lot: 1159)
Starting bid: $ 195Arisaka Bayonet, Matsushita Arsenal, Johnson Variation M, Labar Variation P (LBS-38 / LBF-12)
This is a Japanese Arisaka bayonet manufactured by the Matsushita Arsenal. It features the standard straight, single-edged blade with long fuller and the hooked quillon guard typical of the early pattern. The grips are wood, secured with two screws, and the ricasso is stamped with the distinctive Matsushita arrow mark.
According to Johnson’s classification this piece is designated as Variation M, while in Labar’s system it corresponds to Variation P. Its rarity is rated as 3, considered uncommon, particularly because of the Matsushita arsenal marking.
The bayonet is accompanied by an extremely rare canvas-covered metal scabbard, identified in Labar as LBS-38, as well as an uncommon suspension hanger, the LBF-12 type. Together these fittings make the piece stand out as a significantly scarcer example within the range of Japanese Arisaka bayonet production.

Arisaka Bayonet, Matsushita Arsenal (Lot: 1157)
Starting bid: $ 195Arisaka Bayonet, Matsushita Arsenal, Johnson Variation C, Labar Variation F (LB-107 / LB-108)
This is a Japanese Arisaka bayonet produced by the Matsushita Arsenal. It has the standard straight, single-edged blade with long fuller and hooked quillon guard. The grips are made of wood, secured by two screws, and the ricasso bears the Matsushita arsenal mark.
In Johnson’s classification this example corresponds to Variation C, while in Labar’s system it is listed as Variation F, either LB-107 or LB-108. The bayonet is of particular interest due to the presence of a small stamped “O” mark near the crossguard ring, a feature that elevates its rarity to level 5 (Labar LB-108).
The scabbard paired with this bayonet is of naval type, rubberized, identified as LBS-31 or LBS-32. To determine precisely which variant it is, a photograph of the reverse side would be necessary. Such scabbards are not typical for this model and add further uniqueness to the piece.
