Japanese Type 30 Toyakawa Arsenal (Rocking Star) Black Painted Training Bayonet (LB-215)

One of my favorite recent pickups, just wanted to share. If you have Labar's book on Japanese bayonets, this is a scarce variation (LBT-215). They are fairly tough to find, especially in good condition with all of the black paint intact like this. These were used as training bayonets by the navy. I have the original scabbard and rubberized frog (which is somehow still flexible - the only one I've ever found that is) but did not photograph those.
