Hello seinen :
In reference to the post of double circle bayonets, the two Tokyo ( JB-32s ? ) appear to be reworks, # 8 73 is a renumber over faded or scrubbed Tokyo numbers, the one # 51 shows Nagoya proof and most likely that was where it was renumbered and stamped double circle.
I have one just like your JB-76 Nagoya 101, mine is # 461 and came from the old Ralph Allen collection, I received it as a thankyou gift from Jareth Holub. There was a second bayonet in that collection, it may have been a JB-75 also a 3 digit number. These Nagoya bayonets are purpose made double circles unlike the two Tokyos.
I seem to remember Ralph also had two Murata bayonets that had double circles over-
stamped over their mums.
