A takedown variant of the Type 99 Arisaka designed to be carried disassembled by paratroopers when jumping and then put together on the ground. Features blade front and folding rear sights with anti-aircraft wings, a ground mum on the receiver, "984" assembly numbered takedown hardware, "159" stamped on the underside of the forearm iron, smooth pistol grip stock with cupped buttplate, and the matching partial serial number "896" on the bayonet lug, barrel and bolt.

Fine with 85% of the original blue, showing a few areas of brown patina and scattered spotting. Some components have been renumbered to match. The stock is also fine, with some dents and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
