One of only approximately 7100 produced, this is a very scarce pre-War 1904 Model Large "Papa" Nambu pistol. Produced by the Tokyo Gas and Electric Company under Navy contract, with the "GTE" marking on the chamber, an anchor proof on the right side of the frame next to the model markings and serial number and a pair of Kanji markings on the left side. Fitted with fixed front and tangent rear sights, knurled cocking knob, grip safety on the front strap, lanyard swivel, checkered contoured grips with red paint markings and a nickel magazine with checkered aluminum base.

Fine as arsenal refurbished, with 60% of the blue finish, showing areas of gray patina, mild pitting and some light handling marks. The arsenal recheckered grips are good, with mild dents and stains. Matching numbers are present on the grips, bolt, and cocking knob. Mechanically good.
