  • Arisaka Bayonet, Matsushita Arsenal

    Arisaka Bayonet, Matsushita Arsenal (Lot: 328)

    Arisaka Bayonet, Matsushita Arsenal, Johnson Variation M, Labar Variation P (LBS-38 / LBF-12)

    This is a Japanese Arisaka bayonet manufactured by the Matsushita Arsenal. It features the standard straight, single-edged blade with long fuller and the hooked quillon guard typical of the early pattern. The grips are wood, secured with two screws, and the ricasso is stamped with the distinctive Matsushita arrow mark.

    According to Johnson’s classification this piece is designated as Variation M, while in Labar’s system it corresponds to Variation P. Its rarity is rated as 3, considered uncommon, particularly because of the Matsushita arsenal marking.

    The bayonet is accompanied by an extremely rare canvas-covered metal scabbard, identified in Labar as LBS-38, as well as an uncommon suspension hanger, the LBF-12 type. Together these fittings make the piece stand out as a significantly scarcer example within the range of Japanese Arisaka bayonet production.

  • Luftwaffe Pilot’s Badge

    Luftwaffe Pilot’s Badge (Lot: 114)

    Beautiful condition on this Pilot’s badge with great detail to the eagle and wreath. The pin is straight and functions just as it should and the maker mark is a clear stamp of B&N in the center of the reverse. Very nice example to add to any collection.

  • Candlestick Made from Parts of a German Naval Sword

    Candlestick Made from Parts of a German Naval Sword (Lot: 652)

    An unusual decorative object — a candlestick crafted from genuine components of a naval sword. It incorporates original sword elements such as the naval-themed hilt (anchor motif on the guard, brass pommel), etched blade, and brass scabbard fittings with typical maritime ornamentation.

    Such repurposed items were often produced as souvenir or presentation pieces from decommissioned naval weapons, especially in the late 19th to early 20th century. The transformation is done neatly, retaining the sword’s distinct maritime character while adapting it for use as a candlestick.

    A unique maritime-themed antique decorative piece.
