Description:
EMPIRE of JAPAN World War I/II PACIFIC THEATER Koishikawa Type 38 C&R RIFLE
ARISAKA by the Koishikawa Arsenal with MUM INTACT
Here we present a C&R Japanese Kokura Type 38 Infantry Rifle, made circa 1906 to 1935 at the Koishikawa Arsenal is Tokyo, Japan. The Type 38 rifle and carbine were bolt-action service rifles used by the Empire of Japan predominantly during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Second World War. The design was adopted by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1905 (the 38th year of the Meiji period, hence "Type 38"). Because the 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka cartridge it fired was considered underpowered, a replacement was devised, which was the Type 99 rifle, but both rifles saw usage until the end of the war.
This rifle was an upgrade to the Type 30. This design was the project of Major Nambu, famed and prolific firearms designer in Japan. The Type 38 has been called the best service rifle of WWII. The design was perfected with the advent of the Type 99, nevertheless, the Type 38 saw plenty of action during World War I and World War II.
The overall condition is good. Original blue finish on the receiver. Stock is solid with average handling wear throughout. Red, hand painted markings at the right rear buttstock. Strong action. Clear markings. Bore has dimmed, maintaining a fairly nice shimmer with serviceable rifling. Mixed numbers. The mum is clear and intact.
