Produced by the Tokyo Gas and Electric Company, with the "GTE" marking on the chamber, the serial number on the right side of the one-piece frame next to the model markings, and a pair of Kanji markings on the left side. There are two Kanji markings electropenciled on the right side of the receiver and "15" faintly in paint on the right grip. Interarms import mark at the bottom of the back strap. Fixed front and tangent rear sights, serrated cocking piece, grip safety on the front strap, lanyard swivel, checkered grips, and a nickel finished magazine with an alloy base numbered "3273".

Very good, retains 60% original blue finish and 40% original straw colors with the balance thinned to a smooth plum brown patina with some grey patina on high spots and some scattered light pitting. The grips are good with minor dents and dings scattered throughout, and the right panel having a missing sliver of wood near the top and a crack near the bottom. Mechanically excellent.
