  • Gravity Knife with Lanyard and Luftwaffe Buckle with Tab

    Gravity Knife with Lanyard and Luftwaffe Buckle with Tab (Lot: 401)

    Overall condition of this knife is very good with a clean RBN numbered blade. The grip plates show normal expected wear with no cracks and no abuse. The marlin spike works nicely and is waffen proofed and the entire piece shows a bit of darkening. One of the rarest that we have seen that it is a take down model and it also comes with the very rare original lanyard. The lanyard has the two clips  and was used to hang underneath the flight jackets. Great piece and super rare version of the gravity knife.

    Near mint condition on this beautiful Luftwaffe buckle. Has excellent blueish gray paint and the brown leather tab is perfect. Marked on the tab with maker and dated 1940. The maker of the buckle is R S & S which is slightly stamped off the edge on the reverse.

    This is a Japanese Arisaka bayonet produced by the Nagoya Arsenal. It has a straight, single-edged blade with a long fuller and a hooked quillon guard. The grips are made of wood, secured with two screws to the tang, and the ricasso bears the Nagoya Arsenal mark.

    In Johnson’s classification this example corresponds to Variation A, while in Labar’s system it is listed as Variation A (LB-119). The rarity rating is Common 2, representing a frequently encountered wartime issue.

    The bayonet is paired with standard steel scabbard and frog, both typical of mass-produced equipment issued to the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. Overall, it is a solid and representative example of a standard Nagoya-made Arisaka bayonet.
