The standard infantry rifle of Imperial Japan from 1899 to around 1905, when the Type 38 was introduced. Blade front and folding ladder rear sights, with the untouched mum and "3/10/Type" markings on the front receiver ring, serial number and Tokyo Arsenal stamps on the receiver wall, and a Siamese stamp on the rear bridge. No provision for a dust cover is provided. Fitted with a smooth pistol grip stock.

Fine, with 75% plus original blue finish, with areas of brown patina and mild spotting. The barrel band is numbered "906", with the stock showing a number of dings and scuffs. Mechanically fine.
