I picked up this bayonet at an antique store the other day knowing that it was Japanese and probably from World War 2. I don't know much else about it, though. How much is it worth?

The link below shows it as a common WWII-era bayonet for standard-issue Arisaka rifles. Same arsenal marks on the ricasso. Yours has a fairly corroded pommel but the site puts a value in nice collectable condition at around $120 (in 2016). Yours would be significantly below that.

I did see that website. I've been told that in the last few years Japanese relics have appreciated in value significantly. Ebay isn't much help because prices range from ~100 to 500 with no obvious differences.
