Pole Bayonet

[Kurt A.]

This was given to me years ago by a co-worker who knew I collected military items. Never thought too much of it until I recently started researching it. Turns out it was made in China towards the end of the war and was designed to be placed on the end of a pole and used by civilians as a last ditch type weapon if Japan was invaded. Overall, it's in pretty nice shape.

No, nothing more than "a relative gave it to him."

Yes, Mukden. But wasn't that located in China? Possibly you were thinking of the other pole bayonet manufacturer, Jinsen, which was located in Korea?

Mukden is in Manchukuo, "neither China nor" Korea .

Walter is correct. My mistake
