Arisaka 38 Parade?

[700LH]

First post so bear with me if I goof.

Buddy of mine with no internet just acquired a Arisaka 38 that has been chrome and gold plated. It seems to be in great shape except the mum is gone. Neither of us are collectors and have very limited knowledge of such items. I cannot find any thing like it online. We would like to have some idea of what this gun is worth. He need a good elk rifle and a gun show is in Boise this weekend, or perhaps online is a better selling option?
What do you guys think?
Any input is appreciated, thanks.

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

The rifle will have be post war plated by a US soldier. It is certainly not as made by the Japanese.

I cannot advise on a value sorry.

Cheers, Ade.
