Blade front and folding ladder rear sights, matching numbers on the barrel, receiver, and bolt, Imperial mum on the barrel at the breech, front barrel band with bayonet lug, smooth straight grip stock, sling swivels, and flat steel buttplate. With Type 18 bayonet and leather sheath.

Fair. The rifle has an overall smooth brown patina with some mild edge wear, small nicks and dings, and mostly clear markings. The stock is also fair with dings and small chips throughout, and some visible cracking around the wrist. Mechanically very good. Bayonet and sheath are fair.

An evolution of the Type 13, Japan's first locally made smokeless powder rifle. Blade front and folding ladder rear sight, with a bayonet guide on the side of the tube magazine, a cutoff switch on the right side of the receiver, and 2 concentric circle stamps over the mum on the chamber. Straight wrist stock, with checkering on the forearm, sling swivels, a flat steel buttplate, a faint round cartouche, and a large school type marking on the right side of the buttstock. With correct second style Murata bayonet with steel sheath.

Very good. 30% original blue finish remains on the barrel and receiver with areas of some rough oxidation, scratches, light pitting, and mixed brown/gray patina. The stock is also very good with well-defined checkering, chips, scratches, and dings throughout, and cracking at the buttplate. Mechanically fine.
