Description
Recently imported from the US & offered for sale is this fully matching numbered Imperial Japanese Arisaka Type 99 chambered in 7.7mm
We all know it is practically unheard of for a WW2 Japanese Type 99 to be available with matching numbers, but we have this available now at the shop.
Available records indicate this was made by the Imperial Military Nagoya Arsenal. The Nagoya Arsenal was a Japanese state-owned combine of five military industrial facilities located in the various wards of the city of Nagoya.
This matching numbered rifle has all the hallmarks of being a war trophy, having been taken home after the war by a US GI as the Emperors Chrysanthemum (MUM) remains intact. The intact MUM usually indicates a battlefield captured rifle, as all surrendered Japanese rifles had the MUM either ground, scrubbed or somehow defaced at the time of the Japanese surrender.
All visible numbers match including receiver, complete bolt & bayonet lug plus it retains the original cleaning rod.
Condition can be seen in the photos & the bore is excellent, shiny with clear visible rifling so definitely a shooter & we have ammunition at the shop if collected. The muzzle will not accept a round demonstrating the bore is still tight & not worn.
This is one for the serious collector who knows what they want. These don’t come along often so don’t let this get away!
The photos are of the actual rifle so as usual, please view the photos carefully as these form the main description & override all others.
Make your decision based on what you see, so please view the photos carefully as they form the main description & override all written information.
Whilst we check these out for serviceability, the warranty has expired & these are sold on an as is basis.
As with all used guns, we recommend you have this checked by a suitably qualified person prior to shooting.
