Type 30 Bayonet & scabbard Help Please
Article about: I acquired this item today, mainly bought for the scabbard. I am assuming a late war training bayonet as there are not any arsenal markings or serial numbers along with a rubberized scabbard

Is it possible the "hook" of the crossguard has been removed? I haven't seen a training bayonet with a straight guard before.

Thank you Arisakadogs, much appreciated. Your bayo is a bit nicer than mine. Very nice.

That is cool. First time seeing one of these LB-223 Navy Special variation P2.and the rubberized frog/scabbard.
So is this for the naval training rifles?
Congrats on that find.

It is my understanding or lack thereof that these are military combat bayonets. I stirred the pot by originally thinking this was a training bayonet since it lacked any markings. That was my lack of knowledge. It appears to be an original in fair condition. The scabbard still being pliable is a big plus in my mind but probably does not affect overall value that much.

No, as said it's for the Navy Special rifles

Can we be sure these are Naval issue, when none seem to bear any Navy markings (or often any other markings)?
I have always wondered if this is just an assumption, based upon the rubber (ergo ‘waterproof’) scabbard, that has entered into collector lore...
I’m not really a bayonet man, so I’m standing by to get shot down in flames...

Some have naval anchor and encircled TO inspection marks ink stamped on the rear of the frog. It doesn't get any more naval issue than that. And often times painted/inked on unit marks have naval associations.
