This rare bayonet was manufactured at the Jinsen Rikugun Zoheisho Arsenal during the late Meiji period, signifying Japan’s military modernization. The blade features distinct arsenal markings, including the five-petal star emblem, confirming its authenticity. This bayonet was primarily issued for use with Type 30 rifles and saw action during early Japanese imperial conflicts. Rarity stems from the limited number of Jinsen-made bayonets surviving in good condition today. Its historical importance lies in its association with the Russo-Japanese War and early 20th-century Japanese military expansion.
