Description:
World War II Japanese Nagoya Type 99 Infantry Rifle
With Anti-Aircraft Sights
Here we present a Japanese Type 99 Bolt Action Rifle, made circa 1944 at the Toyo Kogyo arsenal in Hiroshima, Japan. Toyo Kogyo was founded in 1920 as a tool manufacturer, then moved into automobile manufacture in 1931. During World War II, the company contributed to the war effort by making rifles for the Japanese military, much like American companies like GM, International Harvester and others did for the U.S. military. Today, we know Toyo Kogyo as Mazda.
The Type 99 Rifle was conceived as an upgrade in chambering from the Type 38 Rifle designed by Nambu. While the 38 utilized the 6.5x50mm cartridge, the 99 was made to handle the larger, more powerful 7.7x58mm. These rifles were simple and very effective. Nearer the end of the war, with the U.S. successfully restricting traffic to the island nation, raw materials and other resources became more and more scarce, leading the arsenals to simplify production and materials even further. These no-nonsense rifles are known to current collectors as “last ditch”.
This example features the quintessential anti-aircraft rear sight. The butt plate is made of steel. The markings on the left side of the receiver indicate that this was rifle 73645 of the 3rd series of the Nagoya arsenal.
The overall condition is very good. There is some original blue with a dark patina. The markings are clear. The stock is in very good condition. The bore is bright and shiny. The action is strong.
