Now that is new one on me?

Cheers, Ade.

I know that the Chineese had a few, but have never heard that the Japanese had any... The Japanese had their own pattern of Jump helmet... BILL

That is one of my wish list Japanese items. Rare would be an understatement. Realy nice.

The Chinese had M38 helmet´s ?
Very Interesting, that´s new for me !

I know, that the Chinese were supplied with M35 helmets.
I´m sure you´ve seen the image of chinese soldier´s with German AA-gun´s, (8,8 cm), wearing M35 helmets.

Very nice bayonet! I recently got a Type 2 rifle.... wish I could find one of these babies for it!

Greetings Bill,

These are some of my most favorite of all the Japanese Bayonets. Here's a Special Purpose Test Type 1 Knife (bottom example) next to the full-sized bayonet for comparison.

Regards,

Lance

This is really great stuff! - I have never seen one these when I use to collect bayonets many years ago - not in any military museums that I had visited either.

Thank you for sharing!
Cheers
