Arisaka Pole Bayonet, Jinsen Arsenal, Johnson Pole Bayonet, Labar Pole Bayonet (LB-144)

This is a Japanese Arisaka pole bayonet manufactured by the Jinsen Rikugun Zoheisho Arsenal. The blade finish and coloration correspond to Jinsen production, and the ricasso is marked with the distinctive Jinsen star.

In Johnson’s system this piece is designated simply as the Pole Bayonet, while in Labar’s reference it appears as the Pole Bayonet, LB-144. Its rarity is rated at level 8, making it an exceptionally scarce example within the category of Japanese bayonets.

The bayonet is accompanied by a standard steel scabbard of the LBS-21 type, which itself is not frequently encountered. The suspension frog appears consistent with the LBF-61 pattern, although the available photograph does not allow for absolute confirmation.
