Bayonet Identification Help (Have PICS)

Hey Folks:
Digging through all the stuff I have collected over the years. I found this bayonet my father left me. I am very interested to find out what it is. I can find only one mark on it. I tried to get a couple of pics of it. It is a star with what looks like a bowling pin in the center. Hey, best description I could come up with.

It appears to be a Type 30 Japanese Bayonet. There are quite a few reference sources on the net concerning Japanese Bayonets. If you start GOOGLEing using the search term(s) such as "japanese bayonets" or similar, I'm sure you will obtain quite a amount of information on it.
Thanks Rufe!
An oiled rag, (Kroil if you have it) rubbed in the metal, let sit a day or two, then cloth buff.
If wood grips are not too dry/cracked, even a wiping with WD-40 will clean them up good. Or may need a swipe or two with boiled linseed oil.
This is my procedure-- others will have others.
