Steve1871 Posted 20 July , 2019 Share Posted 20 July , 2019 Think the Type 22 was still in service when war broke out . I stopped looking for a bayonet for my rifle long ago. All ones for sale were rusty, worn and beaten up. A friend offer me one, great blade, so had to get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasemuseum Posted 20 July , 2019 Share Posted 20 July , 2019 The Murata remained as a reserve grade weapon through WW2 but was still obsolete in WW1 with both the T30 and T38 rifles in service in sufficient quantities for a large number to be supplied to the British government as an emergency measure Cheers Ross I should also add that they bayonet is a great item, these area rare bayonet.

trajan Posted 2 August , 2019 Share Posted 2 August , 2019 What a strange grip! That recess for the little finger! Never seen anything like that on any other bayonet. Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
