Help With Bayonet

I picked this relic/rusty bayonet up at a flea today and have no idea what it is. It was super cheap, so why not? Any ideas?

Japanese Arisaka bayonet. Would have had wooden grips and I believe a sheet metal scabbard.

I forgot to add, it was made by Nagoya Arsenal.

it's bayonet type 30 and I was about to add Nagoya Arsenal but Blitzkrieg bop beat me to it.
Here's some info for you Markings on Japanese Arisaka Rifles and Bayonets of World War II

Do you have a background story for this Arisaka bayonet?

**Doggert Dog** · 10-10-2011, 02:42 AM

How much did you get it for?

The guy sold it to me for $10, and said he thought it was Japanese. I'd love to know more too. Any tips for cleaning it would be helpful as well. Thanks for the interest in it guys!
