Newest acquisition, just picked it up (thanks 2A for doing the transfer!). Minty Japanese WWII Type 94 Nambu with both original matched mags, holster, strap, cleaning rod, and four original rounds that were in the gun when it was brought back by a veteran. Dated Showa 19.6, or June 1944.
According to the seller, who acquired it from the vet, it was taken from a dead Japanese Major on one of the Pacific islands. Our troops were clearing caves after a Naval shelling and the Japanese soldier was found dead in one of those caves, or so the story goes. Either way I'm happy to have it, these are tough to find with both matching mags. This was my first buy off of Armslist, I don't check that site often but happened across this one that was listed by a seller out of Baltimore. The price we settled on was so reasonable I thought for a while it was a scam, until actually talking to the seller on the phone. Think I ended up getting the rig for about $1k less than these usually go for so I couldn't be happier!
