Original era manufacture. One of the variations of bayonet made for the Japanese Navy Special Type 99 Rifle, variation P2, in Ray LaBar's book, "Bayonets of Japan"Straight guard, flat birdhead pommel, straight wood grips, with a fuller-less blade, with a top false edge. The bayonet is devoid of any manufactures marks or serial numbers.The blade, guard and pommel retain nearly all of the original finish, with original finish to the wooden grips.The rubberized canvas scabbard and frog, unique to the Navy bayonet, is in sound condition for its age. It has stiffened a bit, and the belt loops have been pressed together, but no flaking or damage to the rubber surface, except for a single chip in the waist of the frog.
