Manufactured circa 1909-1928, the Baby Nambu was the semi-official officer's pistol of the Imperial Japanese Military, authorized for private purchase and uniform wear but never issued directly by the Army or Navy. Fixed sights, with the "cannonball" logo on top of the chamber, the 3-symbol Nambu nomenclature and serial number on the right side of the frame, checkered hardwood grips and straw finished small parts. With a nickel plated magazine numbered "4561/*" on the spine, and an unmarked contract brown leather flap holster for another model of pistol.

Excellent with 95% plus of the original blue finish with mild wear and spotting concentrated on the high edges and light handling marks overall. The grips are very fine with a few minor dents. The replacement contract holster is fair with the belt loop and strap retainer disconnecting from the main body, some wear and tear on the edges, and an overall good and supple quality to the leather. Mechanically excellent.
