WW2 Japanese Arisaka Type 30 Rifle Bayonet and Scabbard with its Period Leather Frog. Minty?

Ok so not mint but its one of the best condition examples i have had the pleasure to offer for some time. The Tokyo Arsenal marked blade has close to 100% of its period bluing with minimal loss to the tip and areas where the blade has been removed from the scabbard over the years. Running my finger across the cutting edge i can only feel 2 very minor knocks near the front with slight marks that would suggest the cutting edge has at least been sharpened once, or is this the factory, not sure folks? Again the cross guard and birds head pommel has most of its period factory bluing, lets say 98%, with the cross guard, just under the rifle mount, having a clear inspection stamp. Pommel end with an early seven digit number and at least one inspection stamp. Fixing button moves freely! Both wooden grips are very light in color with just minor staining and patina, no chips or cracks and i would suggest both screws have not been tampered with. The steel scabbard has virtually all its period finishing with no dents or knocks just a couple of minor areas where the rust is just beginning to poke through. This example comes with its period leather frog, again in very nice condition with tight stitching, supple condition and having what looks like three number ''1's'' over a single number ''1''. The front buckle is made from brass with a two hole leather retaining strap. Not sure i will find a better condition example for some time folks.
