The one I have dousn't have the groove in the blade like the earlier ones. Is this a feature of the last ditch series?

its a feature of late production.

I really like the un-grooved Japanese bayonets. What is the shape of the pommel on your bayonet? What scabbard do you have? Here is a good website for more Japanese bayonet info: www.japanesebayonets.net

One of the members here runs this fantastic site.

Looks like a fairly decent example of a later production by Toyoda Automatic Loom Works under supervision of Nagoya Arsenal. Looks good!
