Description:
Japanese KOISHIKAWA ARSENAL Made SIAMESE Contract Type 45 Mauser Rifle C&R
Early 20th Century Siamese Infantry Rifle!
Here we present a C&R Japanese Koishikawa Arsenal made Siamese Contract Type 45 Mauser Rifle manufactured shortly after it was designed in 1903. The Koishikawa Arsenal, formally Imperial Japanese Army Tokyo Arsenal, was an arsenal in the Koishikawa area of Tokyo. Facing the threat of Western colonial expansionism in Southeast Asia during the latter part of the 19th century, King Rama V of Siam (now Thailand), sought new weapons as part of a modernization program to ensure the kingdom's independence.
After experiments with other rifles, the Siamese military decided to purchase a Mauser rifle based on the Gewehr 98 design as their principal service rifle. Through several modifications, adaptations, and using various cartridges, the Siamese Mausers served as the main infantry weapon of Siam until after World War II.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. Bright, rifled bore. The stock is solid throughout, containing an average amount of wear (minor dents and dings). Clear, legible markings.

Barrel is 29 inches.
Caliber: 8x50mm Siamese
