A) Nagoya Type 14 Semi-Automatic Pistol with Holster

Manufactured in October 1943 (Showa 18.10), knurled cocking knob and full blue finish. Numbers match on the frame, trigger, bolt, cocking knob, firing pin extension, and grips. The magazine has a full blue body, aluminum base, and is stamped "112" at the base of the spine. Includes a russet leather clamshell holster and an unmarked blue cleaning rod.

ConditionVery fine. 80% original blue finish remains with light oxidation and speckling, a mostly gray patina on the grip straps, sharp edges, cycling marks, and a circular line where the safety lever makes contact with the frame. The grips are also very good with small dings and pressure dents overall. Mechanically very good. The holster is good with small scuffs and scrapes overall, tight stitching, and mild verdigris around the brass fittings.
