Description:
Serial #(00) 31512, 6.5mm Arisaka, 19" barrel with a very good bore that has some dark freckling within the grooves. This is an original, Koishikawa-made carbine that was removed from military inventory for drill use by students before and during World War II. The rifle has a defaced mum but the added Kanji “School" character is clear and the distinctive double “0" prefix is present on the left side of the receiver. The metal retains 90-95% of the original blue with gray fading at the muzzle and along the exposed edges and projections. The mixed number bolt has an armory bright finish along the body with some freckling along the bolt handle. The stock is not duffel-cut and has several small handling marks and minor surface blemishes throughout the nicely executed armory reapplied varnish. The remnants of school or rack markings are present on the left side of the butt, applied in white paint, and the cleaning rod is included. Type 38, school marked rifles are relatively common but carbines are not often encountered. This example is in fine plus condition. FFL or C&R
