Description:
EMPIRE of JAPAN Arisaka TOYO KOGYO Type 99 PACIFIC THEATER 7.7mm Rifle C&R
HIROSHIMA, JAPAN Manufactured w/MUM PRESENT & SLING
Here we present a C&R Japanese Toyo Kogyo Type 99 Arisaka Military Rifle manufactured circa 1941 at the Toyo Kogyo Arsenal in Hiroshima, Japan. The Type 99 was one of the standard bolt-action combat rifles to be used by the Japanese Empire during World War II. At the start of its production, it proved a reliable and robust rifle. But, the closing noose of the Pacific Theater soon brought about dramatic changes in its production methods, often leading to a subclass weapon.
Despite the respect that the rifle earned early on, the Type 99 suffered from quality control towards the end of the war with the Japanese Empire struggling to survive. Raw materials and competent production processes were both in short supply resulting in poor quality and finishes on most of the outgoing Arisaka rifles including the Type 99, thus being referred to as a “Last Ditch Effort”.
As Japanese surrender became all the more imminent, many Army rifles bearing the Imperial Chrysanthemum marking of the Emperor had this emblem grounded down in 1945 to spare the Emperor the embarrassment of surrender. Many surviving rifles are often found with this particular condition, especially late-war/late-model production versions.
The overall condition is good. Robust action. Bright bore with nice metford style rifling. Solid stock with an average amount of wear, minor dents, and dings. Legible markings. Mixed numbers. This example has the mum intact. Good leather sling. The anti air-craft rear sight is missing the wings.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
