Its a type 44 Japanese bayonet. I'm not sure about the scabbard. The one pictured in Janzen's book doesn't show the ball on the end, but he states there are three variations.

Boy was I wrong, a friend (Denny G. )of mine called me to say that I had misread the book.
You have a Japanese type 38 child or student trainers bayonet.
He was saying they are rare and the one he had was numbered.
I better stick to German bayonets
Sorry about the screw-up

Wow! I wish we had estate sales with stuff like this...
This is the Child's Type 38 Training Bayonet for the 7/8 scale Type 38 training rifle.
A rare and valuable bayo, regardless of what Ray says below.
Nice goin' Robert.

Robert,
I haven't kept up on prices but can tell you that mine was in better condition than yours and I sold it for $550 - way back in 2007...
Hope that helps
