This rifle was manufactured by the Kokura Arsenal and is fitted with the earlier small 2.5 power scope. The left side of the receiver is stamped with serial number "4638" next to the Kokura Arsenal symbol. The top of the chrysanthemum has been very lightly ground over and then reblued with the outline intact, with the Kana markings below that. It has the long staff adjustable rear sight, with the inverted "V" front sight with the squared guards and is fitted with a monopod block on the middle barrel band, with the monopod still attached. The scope is the correct early 2.5X model that is marked on the rear ocular piece with "2.5x10 (degrees)/NIKKO/No 5752" with the front part of the scope base numbered "7827" and is fitted with a reproduction rubber eye cup. It has the full length hardwood stock and handguard with the finger grooves on the side of the forearm. It is complete with the original leather sling and a late war green canvas scope can and shoulder strap. It has an all blue metal finish with the bolt remaining in the white.
