Approximately 40,000 Type 45 rifles and bayonets were produced in 1903 at the Imperial Japanese Army Arsenal in Tokyo (Kowisikawa).

The grips have handling marks and a couple compressions. They may be been replaced, or cut. Both of them are short and don't reach the guard. They have darkened with age. The spine, sides and fullers have handling marks and discoloration. The blade has no nicks or dings. It has its original factory edge. The tip is intact and comes to a sharp straight point. There is some dried oil on the blade. The right ricasso is marked with Thai characters. The back of the pommel is also marked with characters but they have worn thin. The scabbard mouth, body and finial all have handling marks and scrapes. There are a few light impact marks on the body and the finial has slight wear on one side.
