Nice one Bill. Never knew about these. Assume they are rare as hens teeth

"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Very nice. Always something to be learned here.
Yes they are very rare. I have only owned two in all my years of collecting...BILL

Some additional information on the Japanese VZ-24 Rifle. It was picked up on Okinawa by a USMC officer and brought to the USA as a war souvenir..BILL

I was hoping I would't be the only one ignorant to the existance of these rifles. Very interesting and very cool Bill. 25 years of gun shows and it's a first for me.
Were they captured from the Nationalist Chinese and reissued like so many other types that ended up in Japanese hands?
