Description:
ITALIAN JAPANESE World War II Navy Contract 6.5mm Type I CARCANO Rifle C&R
Gardone Val Trompia, Italy Manufactured Arisaka
Here we present a C&R Italian Japanese Navy Contract Type 1 Arisaka Rifle, made circa 1938-39 for the Japanese Imperial Navy by the Italian State Arsenal in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy. After the invasion of China in July 1937, all Arisaka production was required for use of the Imperial Army, so under the terms of the Anti-Comintern Pact, the Imperial Navy contracted with Italy for this weapon in 1937.
The Type I is based on the Type 38 rifle and utilizes a Carcano action but retains the Arisaka/Mauser type 5-round box magazine. The Type I was utilized primarily by Japanese Imperial Naval forces. 120,000 Type I rifles were produced in 1938 and 1939, with 30,000 each manufactured by Beretta and Fabbrica Nazionale d'Armi, and 60,000 manufactured by the state arsenal in Gardone Val Trompia. The final shipment to Japan left Venice by submarine in 1941.
The Type I never had the Japanese Imperial Chrysanthemum markings. Many Type I rifles brought back to the United States as war trophies were reportedly captured at Kwajalein Atoll, the Philippines, or from Japan at the conclusion of hostilities. This example has “C W KLEIN” and “TOKYO 1945” stamped into the left and right side of the stock.
The overall condition is very good. Robust action. The bore is in good shape for its age. This example sports a solid stock with only and average amount of wear. Mixed numbers. “CW KLEIN” is marked on the left stock flat and “TOKYO 1945” on the right. Legible markings.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
