Found in a box at an estate sale. Came with no info. Wondering how old? What kind of rifle it was for? Where it was made?
Please help.
Thank you,
Brian O'Keeffe

Most likely it is a WWII Japanese bayonet. There should be markings on the blade just under the hand guard.

The lost photo shows the markings.
That's what it is! Thanks so much fortapache. Very excited!
For an Ariska rifle.

The sharp curved "C" lower guard was supposedly for parrying a sword, pike, bayonet etc. blade & possibly break it.
