Description:

Blade and folding ladder sights, with the monopod base rendered unusable. The mum has been ground, with proper "9/ 7/ Type" model marking on top of the receiver ring and the Nagoya crest on the left side. Matching numbers on the front band and bolt components. Smooth pistol grip stock, with sling swivels and a cupped metal buttplate. Equipped with a 2.5x10 scope which is numbered "4978" and internally numbered "28".

Rating Definition:

Fine, with 50% of the original blue finish, showing a mixed gray patina on the barrel and scattered spotting and handling marks. The retention spring in the scope base has been broken off and is absent. Stock is very good, with dings, chips and "Sb" cut into the right side. Optics are slightly hazy. Mechanically excellent.
