Hs132 Posted May 13, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 13, 2021 Hi, a gift from the late Vet. Family. He was a Sea Bee. And the family had no record of where he picked it up. Other than the buttplate there is no other metal damage. It looks like shrapnel damage. It’s all matching including the dust cover. It came with a near mint blade bayonet.

mkite93 Posted May 13, 2021 Share #7 Posted May 13, 2021 Great Type 99. I love the ones with battle damage or ones that show actual combat use rather than ones that were captured out of storage. I have a couple with some battle scars but none as significant as this, Its a great rifle and part of history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Dentino Posted May 13, 2021 Share #9 Posted May 13, 2021 Wouldn't want to be the guy holding that rifle when the big bang happened! Nice rifle and loads of character..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted May 13, 2021 Share #10 Posted May 13, 2021 I’ve seen scores of Japanese rifles but never one like this one. Great find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hs132 Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share #11 Posted May 13, 2021 Thank you for the compliments. I believe the sling was also affected by the sharpnel. I think it’s a 23rd series, mid war. Best, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
