Manufactured by the Tokyo Arsenal from 1909 to 1928, the Baby Nambu was the semi-official officer's pistol of the Imperial Japanese Military. Fixed sights, with the "stacked cannonball" arsenal marking on top of the chamber and the nomenclature markings and serial number on the right side of the frame. Two nickel-plated magazines are included; one numbered "692" and the other matching "2835/.", indicating a matching spare magazine. The firing pin is unnumbered, but multiple other components, including both grip panels, are numbered to match. Included with the lot is a medal for the Order of the Rising Sun, Seventh Class.

Very fine, with 80% of the original blue finish, showing some small patches of shallow pitting on the frame and bolt, mild spotting on the grip straps, and mild handling marks and edge wear overall. 60% straw finish is present on the trigger, with some mild dings and scuffs on the otherwise very fine grips. Mechanically excellent.
