Synopsis:

Japanese militaria collectors and bayonet enthusiasts have long awaited an updated comprehensive reference on Japanese bayonets and here it is!! In this book the author hopes to enlighten the reader with a comprehensive, educational and pictorial reference of the many variations of the Japanese bayonets made. This is a collective effort by the author, other collectors and authors, to put into print the information that exists today and to introduce many, new, 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 payge layout. One will find that when looking for a certain arsenal, type or number, the pages will reveal this easily when thumbing through. Plus, 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. Rayond LaBar's 25 years of collecting and researching Japanese bayonets are complied in this 480 page hard cover book with over 1100 color photos. It has a sturdy library style (side-sewn) binding. This book is assured to be an exciting addition to any library. Large format 8.5 x 11. This book was proudly printed in the USA
