The 40cm blade retains much of its original factory blued finish, showing wear consistent with age. It is marked on the ricasso and stamped with a serial number on the pommel. The three-sided cloverleaf mark is associated with three different bayonet makers. The mark depicts a stack of four cannonballs viewed from above. Three well known makers were Tokyo Hohei Kosho (Tokyo Army Arsenal) 1898-23, Tokyo Rikugun Zoheisho (Tokyo Army Ministry Armory) 1923-35, and Kokura Rikugun Zoheisho (Kokura Army Ministry Armory) 1935-45. The blade was not fully polished at the factory-likely a wartime measure to reduce costs or accelerate production-and is sharpened approximately three-quarters of the way down.
