Item No.: 9689 Price : SOLD
Item : RARE, VERY FINE, WWII JAPANESE TYPE 2 TAKE-DOWN PARATROOPER RIFLE
Description :
This is an original, WWII Japanese Type 2 Paratrooper Rifle manufactured at Nagoya Arsenal. It is chambered for the 7,7mm Arisaka cartridge. Based on the Type 99 action, these rifles could be broken down into two pieces for compact stowage. They were produced in small numbers for Japanese Imperial Army and Navy paratroopers. Only about 19,000 were manufactured between 1942 and 1944. This rifle is in very fine to excellent condition. It is all matching. The mum is present, but has been defaced with an "X" cut. The rifle retains about 95% of its original black factory finish. There are a few specks of patina on the magazine floor plate and the butt plate has just a bit of light surface rust. The bore and mechanics are excellent. The rear sight retains its anti-aircraft "wings". This is an outstanding example of the Japanese paratrooper rifle, a very rare and desirable gun. Stock no. 26773
