Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 326
Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

Manufactured in June of 1928, with the "3.6" Showa date on the right side of the frame. Fixed sights, ribbed and knurled cocking knob, straw finished small parts and serrated grips. The bolt, cocking knob, trigger, frame, and magazine all have matching numbers.

Rating Definition:

Very fine with 90% plus of the slightly faded original blue finish. Showing some areas of light pitting on the frame that have been lightly cleaned, light muzzle wear, general handling marks, and a line following the line of travel for the safety switch. The grips are very fine with most of the original finish, some light indentations, and general handling marks. Mechanically excellent.

Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 326
Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

Manufactured in November of 1928, with the "3.11" Showa date on the right side of the frame. Fixed sights, ribbed and knurled cocking knob, straw finished small parts, and serrated grips. With non-matching numbers on the bolt, trigger, frame, and cocking knob. The magazine has the correct nickel finish, aluminum base, and is numbered to the gun with the partial "903" stamped on the spine.

Rating Definition:

Very fine with 80% of the faded original blue. There is some light pitting on the barrel, a small scratch on the frame where the safety switch travels, and some light spotting on the grip frame near the butt. The grips are also very fine with some handling marks and an indentation from the safety switch rotation. Mechanically fine.
