Thought I would share with you the find from this weekend. It is a nambu type 14 made by Torriimatsu for the Nagoya Arsenal it is the first series and was made in 1942. The holster is the rubberized iv style which is dated also to 1942.
Enjoy. Marty

Sure looks like a nice example. They must be increasing in value and collectors interest more lately like most milsurps. Hopefully this trend will continue.

Thanks guys. I have not taken the pistol completely apart but the numbers I can see are all matching except for the magazine. And the bluing is wonderful

Phil I was not sure I would like having the rubberized holster, I was hoping for a leather one. I really am glad it was the rubberized one and is in really great shape.

Joel, thank for the postive feedback. A nambu pistol is one that I did not have in the collection but have wanted for years. I guess the quest now is for the papa(high),baby(mortgage the house) and a 94(reasonable).
