Unknown Japanese Rifle
Can someone please identify this WWII Japanese rifle? Its the only Japaneses piece I have in my collection and I don't know anything about it. I bought it for $200 some years ago because the owner thought the bolt was broken, but in fact it was not.

Type 99... and gorgeous!
She is a beauty, aircraft sights and mum intact, what a deal!
Thank you
Yes indeed. There are actually two rifles here, a Mauser K98 and a Japanese Type 99, a really nice one and $200 was a bargain.
Sorry..trying to work and answer.. Type 99 arisaka. Definitely ww2 period.. Looks a bit shiny on the stock so probably refinished.. But absolutely beautiful!! Nice find!
Yeah it does look to be in great condition from what I can see in your photos. Caliber should be 7.7 for a Type 99. Not sure of values for Japanese Type 99s these days but am sure worth a lot more than they went for back in the 70s. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah I was wondering anout the k98 in there..
Me too on the 98. Appreciate some info on the markings.
And when I say a fefinished stock I actually am glad on most that they are refinished. If you can find a 75+ year old rifle with possible jungle combat that isn't refinished, I doubt it will look as gorgeous as that one!
