Japanese Type 38 Arisaka Long Rifle

Japanese Type 38 Arisaka Long Rifle – Early Koishikawa/Tokyo Arsenal – Intact Mum – Substantially Matching

Early-production Japanese Type 38 Arisaka long rifle, chambered in 6.5Χ50mmSR Japanese, manufactured at the Koishikawa/Tokyo Arsenal.
Receiver serial number is 065212. The rifle retains its intact Imperial chrysanthemum (“mum”), which has not been ground or defaced.
The rifle remains in its original military-style long-rifle configuration with an approximately 31-inch barrel, full-length military stock, original-pattern rear sight, bayonet lug, and cleaning rod.
Several major components are numbered 212, matching the last three digits of the receiver serial number:
• Bolt body – 212
• Safety knob – 212
• Bayonet lug – 212
No visible numbers were found on the extractor, firing pin, or magazine floorplate. Based on the matching major components, the rifle can reasonably be described as substantially matching, although not every individual part has been verified.
The cleaning rod is present and intact, an important completeness feature on surviving Type 38 rifles.
The stock shows honest military-service wear, handling marks, dents, and finish wear consistent with an early 20th-century service rifle. The rifle has not been sporterized and retains its traditional military configuration.
Bore-scope inspection shows strong, clearly visible rifling with scattered frosting and age-related wear. The muzzle crown remains intact and reasonably even. The chamber shows more pronounced pitting and surface roughness than the bore, and that condition should be taken into consideration when evaluating the rifle for firing.
Key features:
• Type 38 Arisaka Long Rifle
• Koishikawa/Tokyo Arsenal
• 6.5Χ50mmSR Japanese
• Serial 065212
• Approximately 31-inch barrel
• Intact Imperial chrysanthemum
• Bolt numbered 212
• Safety numbered 212
• Bayonet lug numbered 212
• Original cleaning rod present
• Full military configuration
• Strong visible rifling
• Rough/pitted chamber
• Substantially matching major components
• No obvious commercial sporterization
Overall, this is an appealing early Type 38 with several desirable collector characteristics, particularly the intact mum, matching major components, original long-rifle configuration, and retained cleaning rod.

This example retains several desirable original military features, including:
• Anti-aircraft rear sight wings

Bore-scope inspection shows a good bore with strong, clearly defined rifling. There is some light age-related discoloration/frosting, but no widespread severe pitting was observed in the areas inspected. The chamber appears clean and in good condition, and the crown is even with no obvious major impact damage or heavy erosion.

Japanese Type 99 Arisaka Short Rifle

Japanese Type 99 Arisaka Short Rifle – Nagoya Arsenal – 10th Series – Late-War “Last Ditch” – Matching Bolt Assembly

Japanese Type 99 Arisaka short rifle, chambered in 7.7Χ58mm Japanese, manufactured at the Nagoya Arsenal as part of the 10th Series.
Receiver serial number is 91172. The rifle retains an intact Imperial chrysanthemum (“mum”), which is a significant collector feature because many surrendered rifles had the crest ground or defaced.
This is a genuine late-war Substitute Standard / “last ditch” Type 99, showing the simplified production features associated with the final stages of Japanese wartime manufacture. These include the simplified fixed rear sight, crude exterior machining, simplified stock and sling hardware, wooden buttplate, shortened handguard configuration, and omission of a cleaning rod.
The bolt assembly is matching to the rifle.

The following components are all marked 172, corresponding to the final three digits of receiver serial 91172:
• Bolt body – 172
• Safety knob – 172
• Firing pin – 172
• Extractor – 172
No visible number was observed on the bayonet lug.

The rifle measures approximately 44 inches overall with an approximately 26-inch barrel.

Bore-scope inspection shows a good bore with strong, clearly defined rifling and only light scattered wear or corrosion. The chamber appears clean and in good condition, and the crown appears even and serviceable with no obvious major damage.

The stock shows the rough, utilitarian wartime finish expected on a late 10th Series Nagoya rifle. The exposed barrel/shortened upper handguard area and absence of a cleaning rod are consistent with the simplified late-war configuration rather than necessarily representing missing parts.

Identification and features
• Model: Type 99 Arisaka Short Rifle
• Arsenal: Nagoya
• Series: 10th Series
• Caliber: 7.7Χ58mm Japanese
• Serial number: 91172
• Barrel length: approximately 26 inches
• Overall length: approximately 44 inches
• Imperial mum: Intact
• Bolt: 172 – matching
• Safety: 172 – matching
• Firing pin: 172 – matching
• Extractor: 172 – matching
• Rear sight: Simplified fixed late-war pattern
• Buttplate: Wooden late-war pattern
• Cleaning rod: Not present / late-war omission
• Upper handguard: Late-war shortened/simplified configuration
• Bore: Good, strong rifling
• Chamber: Good
• Crown: Good
• Overall configuration: Correct late-war military pattern

Overall, this is a very representative 10th Series Nagoya late-war Type 99 with several strong collector attributes: an intact mum, fully matching bolt assembly, correct late-war simplified features, and good internal barrel condition. The crude machining and simplified furniture are period-correct characteristics of this final wartime production pattern rather than defects.
