I collected Arisakas for a lot of years and just this past year had a few auctions to unload (Getting old). The commonly called "Last ditch" have gone up in value if they are original. I already for got if you said the bayonet has a matching # or not. That would really bump the price up. The "Jewels" you are talking about look like brass nails or nails with shellac over them used to repair the two piece stock. The original wooden butt plate is on there, but that rubber thing is an add on. If you hold the dust cover up and look at the back there should be real small serial numbers on it. The bayonet and cover may be worth more than the rifle. I have had that happen already.
