Very nice indeed.
Re: Japanese Type 99 Rifle From Okinawa
Great rifle!
I have vet acquired one that was captured in Saipan. Like this one, it has a rubberized leather sling, no dust cover though.
Curious, what series and arsenal is it?
Regards,
John
Re: Japanese Type 99 Rifle From Okinawa
Does it still have the anti aircraft sights on her. (that would be the fold out wings on the rear sight itself.) I see she still has the dust cover. Alot of the dust covers were removed because of the rattle it made. Also looks like the chrysanthemum still intact.(chrysanthemum- mum for short) the MUM was supposed to be defaced or removed before surrender. IN order to preserve the Emperors honor. if the mum is still intact . would add add double the value. Anyway nice set up you have. you will have to send a couple down range. as the action on these are very strong . good luck deadeye
