Hello everyone! I'm very new to this site. I'm MDer and I have been Digging most of my life. Just a short history on what I have been given.
My Father Passed on and before he did he gave me a Japanese Rifle. I have been doing some searching to indentify it and have narrowed it down to a 38 Long Rifle. Series #2 Kokura. But it looks like the Marking has some added etching's? and the stock is different from all of the 38's I have been viewing online?? Plus I have not seen a good shoulder strape yet like I have.
My father gave it to me with little information to pass on before he passed on. it was sudden so I have no try history except it was taken from a dead soldier killed in action. Now it could be WWII or the Korean War. But I'm left with a puzzle here so I am Asking for help in this.
Thank you
