Designed as a takedown version of the standard Type 99 Arisaka bolt action service rifle for use by Imperial Army paratroopers, the Type 2 utilizes a screw wedge on the right side to allow the barrel and forend section to separate from the action and stock section. Features fixed winged blade front sight and folding rear sight with anti-aircraft wings, a ground off mum on the receiver, metal dust cover, and smooth pistol grip stock with cupped buttplate. With partial matching serial numbers "128" marked on the underside of the bayonet lug, bolt handle, extractor, faintly stamped on the dust cover, and underside of the barrel lug, along with "20" assembly number on various components.

Fine, retaining 70% plus original blue finish with scattered patches of smooth brown patina and spotting, various rough cast components, and minor edge wear. Stock is very good as sanded and re-varnished with a few hairline cracks in the right side of the butt. Mechanically excellent.
