WWIIBuff1945 Posted October 1, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 1, 2020 Crated Japanese Type 38 Carbine from the Colonel Walter Buie Collection. I was outbid on a few of the Colonels auctions last month but this one showed up on the secondary market. I really wanted something from the Colonels collection and was disappointed to be outbid and was happy to see this one show up for sale Here is a link to the completed auction for addition information. Click on link inside the link for the August auction given by Centurion. https://www.centurionauctions.com/wwii-war-trophy-firearm-militaria-collection-of-colonel-walter-buie Link to post Share on other sites
USCapturephotos Posted October 1, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 1, 2020 Always enjoy seeing crated pieces like this! Thanks for sharing. I have a few bring back firearms but have never been lucky enough to find one still with the original crate. Paul Link to post Share on other sites

mdk0911 Posted December 16, 2020 Share #11 Posted December 16, 2020 how about the super rare type 5 Japanese rifle he brought back and in the same auction Link to post Share on other sites
ScottG Posted December 16, 2020 Share #12 Posted December 16, 2020 So on the type 5 a couple of things appear off to me. The rifle is longer than the crate...Perhaps its just sitting on a recessed lid but maybe not. The paperwork refers to Colonel Buie but when Colonel Buie presumably addressed the box he used Major? Maybe an old stencil he had? Still, seems odd. Scott Link to post Share on other sites
6th.MG.BN Posted December 16, 2020 Share #13 Posted December 16, 2020 Definitely wouldn't fit in that box. Some years ago another dealer I know, brought into one of the gun shows the bayonet for one of these rifles to show me. A very interesting and rare bayonet for a very rare rifle.

jangle Posted December 16, 2020 Share #14 Posted December 16, 2020 You have to remember these broke down basically the same as the M1, so it would fit into that box. The Type 4 rifle would use any of the standard Japanese T-30 bayonets. Link to post Share on other sites
