The following are markings that are on a WWII Japanese Type 30 bayonet (Training or School bayonet). These markings are branded into the wooden scales/handles.
I've never been able to translate, let alone make sense of the characters. Let alone tell what is the correct orientation. The smaller one is harder to make sense of and get a good picture of due to the wood grain.
I figured with the fact we have a member, Yang Hao, that has been knocking out the translation of a lot of Japanese and Chinese stuff, that maybe it was time to see if I could get these markings translated.
