Kokura Arsenal Type 99 Rifle with Korean War Era 30-06 Conversion with Period Items

Rechambered in caliber .30-06 by U.S. Ordnance Corps for issue to the Republic of Korea (ROK). The left side of the receiver is boldly marked "U.S. CAL. 30".Gun has a fixed front sight, folding ladder rear sight with anti-aircraft wings, obliterated mum, standard serial number and arsenal markings, rubber muzzle cap, smooth pistol grip stock with green canvas sling and flat buttplate. This type of conversion was done under the direction of U.S. Ordnance at Tokyo Arsenal between June 1952 and July 1952. The following period items are included: 1) a plaque raised marked "M/SGT L.A. BARRETT / U.S. ARMY" on one side and a South Korea village scene with the inscription "THE BARRETTS / KOREA 1954-55" on the other; 2) a cigarette case marked "1953 / KOREA" over a military base log; 3) 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" photograph of an American G.I.; 4) Korean service medal; 5) United Nations medal for serving in Korea; 5) Military Government Korea shoulder sleeve patch; and Korean pin.

ConditionArsenal overhauled with most of the dull arsenal parkerized finish remaining with some light surface rust on the receiver and a dark mottled patina beginning to form on the barrel. The stock is very fine with some minor nicks, dings and scratches. The markings are clear with the exception of the arsenal ground off mum. Mechanically excellent. The items are very good with some light age wear. The cigarette case has been cleaned at one time and is now beginning to age again with some light corrosion.
