British 1916 Japanese Type 30 Bayonet (LB-289)
Japan sold 150,000 rifles and bayonets to England during WWI for Land Service and the Royal Navy in 1914-1915 for use with the rear echelon troops when there was a lack of British made rifles. Most of the rifles and bayonets that Great Britain bought were sold in 1916 to Russia and made their way to Finland and then lost forever. Few of these Arisaka bayonets were still marked with British regimental markings on the pommel or grips and this piece is marked YHTS.97 (Yeomanry Hampshire Regt., 97) on the side of the pommel. Handle has some patina and the blade has some staining. Blued scabbard with some patina. An extremely rare Type 30 bayonet variation. LB-289, Rated 7 (very rare) by Raymond Labar's book. Rarity: R3+ Condition: VG+ Price: $850 |
