Scarce Japanese Type 10 Flare Gun with Rare Holster

Matching numbers on left side of frame and barrel. Production was started in one factory and completed in another using the same machinery. This has the larger trigger guard, so it was probably made at Kokura (Koishikawa and Kokura used the same stamp). The rubberized canvas holster with leather reinforcement is seldom seen. Most holsters for the Type 10 are leather. Ink stamped inside "9/Kokura/Tokyo Arsenal star", the latter being the remains after Koishikawa moved its equipment to Kokura.

ConditionExcellent. 98% original blue finish overall with only slight wear around the muzzle. The excellent plus grips show little use. Mechanically excellent. The leather on the holster is flaked and battered. The canvas has some damage at the top where the knuckle of the frame catches it and about an inch of the separate edging on the flap.
