Im trying to get information on this gun, it has alot of things pressed into it. it does not however have the flower pressed into it....it has been scraped off and it seems to be modified any help or hints would be nice.
thats what i figured o well the stuff that the leaved on it is ok atleast all the arsenal makes and serial numbers and japenese writing is still on there. any way to still be able to tell what type it is though
that is so sweet...that symbol on your bayonet is the same symbol next to my serial number and then before it there is two circles
i also heard that those two circles next to the serial number also means that it may have been used at a school or for the secret police or something like that im not to sure..can i buy and original stock or should i just leave it be...i also dont know what the japanese writing means they arnt on the list for series numbers its engraved below were the flower thing should be
An easy way to tell the Type 38 from the type 99 is that the receiver ring markings on the Type 38 run in line with the barrel, while the Type 99 markings run crossways. Also the Type 38 has two gas escape holes, the Type 99 only one.
Musick says he has a Type 38 but the picture clearly shows a Type 99 or, as the marking says, "99 Type".
