Aloha Fábio,
Always nice to find them with their leather frog, to bad the retaining strap is broken and missing the screw on the back of the scabbard. A nice early Kokura (Tokyo) bayonet with the serial number on top of the tang.
Here’s a website that should help in Japanese bayonet collecting. http://lvstrings.com/bayonet/
Nice find
