Special Purpose Test Type 1 knife bayonet
The rarest (only about a dozen known) Imperial Japanese Type 100 Special Purpose Test Type 1 knife/bayonet. It is as it should be marked on the top of the tang with the TALW mark and the end is serial numbered with the Nagoya inspectors arsenal mark. I have owned this bayonet for many years and its time to move it along. Don't miss out as this would be the center piece of any Japanese bayonet collection.
