Designed as a takedown version of the standard Type 99 Arisaka bolt action service rifle for use by Imperial Army paratroopers, utilizing 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 retained mum on the receiver, metal dust cover, smooth pistol grip stock with cupped buttplate, partial matching serial number "045" marked on the underside of the bayonet lug, bolt handle, extractor, dust cover, and underside of the barrel lug, along with "779" assembly number on various components.

Exceptionally fine overall, retaining 85% plus original blue finish with smooth brown patina, scattered light spotting/pitting, minor thinning, and scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
