Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

Blade front and tangent rear sights, with the "GTE" mark on top of the frame, and the model markings and serial number on the right. Matching numbers are present on the bolt and cocking knob. Fitted with checkered hardwood grips and a smooth back strap. With a correct mismatched extra nickel finished alloy based magazine and a type/4 magazine, a brown leather clamshell holster with shoulder strap and a cleaning rod.

Rating Definition:

Very good with 75% of the original blue finish remaining, showing pitting on the grip straps and grip safety, scattered spotting, bright edge wear, areas of brown patina and light handling marks. 30% of the straw finish is present, strongest on the trigger. The grips are also fine, with lightly worn checkering and mild dings. The holster is fair with a replaced hinge, mild scuffs/cracks, and some loose stitching. Mechanically fine. Overall, a solid representative example of a Japanese Papa Nambu!
