Guns Listing ID: 621499
This is a well-preserved WWII Japanese Type 99 short rifle (Arisaka), manufactured at Kokura Arsenal in series 20—an early-war production example dating to approximately 1941.
Caliber: 7.7×58mm Arisaka
Barrel Length: Approximately 25.5\"
Overall Length: Approximately 50\"
Action: Bolt-action, 5-round internal box magazine
Sights: Protected post front with ears; adjustable ladder rear sight with folding anti-aircraft \"wings\"
Stock: Original walnut with honest age patina, natural checking, dings, minor cracks, and handling wear consistent with veteran use; full-length upper handguard; drain hole present; no cleaning rod groove or retainer button; no monopod attachment wear or evidence of removal (rear barrel band has monopod lug hole but unused, consistent with documented factory variations in early Kokura series 20 rifles)
Metal Finish: Original blued/military finish with even dark patina, light surface wear, and honest oxidation—no major pitting or abuse
Bore: Chrome-lined (bright silvery reflective sheen visible at muzzle and along rifling grooves/lands), light scattered pitting present but rifling remains strong, sharp, and well-defined—very good condition for an 80+ year-old service rifle
Bolt: Chrome-plated face with crisp machining, sharp extractor claw, proper firing pin protrusion, and tight fit
Accessories: Includes correct Type 30 bayonet (early hooked quillon crossguard intact—desirable pre-1942 feature; wooden slab grips solid with two rivets and patina matching rifle; fullered blade with honest bluing/oxidation; birds-head pommel and release button functional) with original scabbard; period-style canvas sling attached
Other Features: Intact Imperial chrysanthemum (\"mum\") on receiver top (highly desirable and collector-preferred); metal cupped buttplate; no dust cover slot or cover (early variation/omission common); no monopod or full-length cleaning rod (as-issued variation)
Markings: Clear \"???\" (Type 99) under intact mum; left receiver shows series kana (cross/plus in circle) + serial 29426 + Kokura Arsenal cannonball stack mark (three overlapping circles viewed as stacked cannonballs)
This is a solid, matching-numbers early production Type 99 from a respected arsenal—Kokura rifles are noted for crisp machining, good fit/finish, and quality control. It retains key premium early-war features (AA-wing sights, chrome-lined bore and bolt face, hooked-quillon bayonet, full mum) without any last-ditch simplifications (no fixed sights, no wooden buttplate, no crude forging). The overall condition is honest veteran bring-back—dark patinated metal, natural wood wear with good original finish, light bore pitting but excellent rifling strength—reflecting typical field use and long-term storage without heavy abuse or modifications.
A desirable collector or shooter piece—Kokura series 20 rifles with intact mums, chrome components, hooked-quillon bayonet, and authentic early variations (no monopod/cleaning rod provisions) are scarcer and highly sought after. Headspace and function should be verified by a qualified gunsmith before firing; use only proper 7.7×58mm Arisaka ammunition (modern commercial loads recommended).
