Isn't that a mid 20th century Spanish military issue?(Spanish as in Spain)

My fancy drawing is what is shown at the base of the blade, on the lug end #'s "0372"

Looks like a Type 38 Arisaka.  Don't know for sure, though, because of the looped lower guard.

If it's an Arisaka I guess around $70 with scabbard.

Does it have a flower (is it a chrysanthemum?) stamped in the blade?

Edited because I don't know how to spell chrysanthemum.

Jap type 30 bayonet.  This was the primary bayonet for their rifles.  The mark with the circle is a Nagoya mark, and the triangle is some subcontractor mark.  The two together indicate that it was produced by the subcontractor but supervised by Nagoya staff.

No, I don't know this stuff by heart, it's here:

I'd say less than $50 considering the condition (pitting/forge marks).  Of course, the obvious wartime manufacture might actually increase the value.  OTOH, I have a pre-war manufacture 'straight shank' Arisaka bayonet with 99% blue that I've been offered $250 for.  Is that a good deal?  BTW, it's my understanding that bayonets did not get the 'royal' chrysanthemum treatment.  

Halfcocked, you weren't even sure of the spelling of Arisaka, for goodness sake.  5 minute reporting penalty.  I claim the prize!!  :-)
