Description
This comprehensive reference is the “go to” guide for Japanese bayonet collectors. The book covers common to the most obscure bayonets from the mid 1800s through WW II. Over 1,100 outstanding color illustrations and informative text that includes marks, serial numbers, rarity, and appropriate comments. This is a collective effort by the
Author, other collectors and
Authors, to put into print new information and to introduce many never before documented Japanese bayonets. This includes a chapter referencing the Type 30 bayonets. Another item addressed in the book is the series marks. Mr. LaBar has tried to find and record as many serial numbers of each variation to put together a serial number range. An interesting feature is the page layout. One will find that when looking for a certain arsenal, type or number, the pages will reveal this easily when thumbing through. Instead of putting a dollar value on each piece they are listed according to availability and scarcity. Using a chart from 1-10 readers can determine their own set of values and pricing. It has a sturdy library style (side-sewn) binding.
