Sold JAPANESE TYPE 26 SERVICE REVOLVER, VERY NICE, WITH MINT HOLSTER AND CAPTURE PAPERS TOO!

In 95% original condition, we have a fine example of a Japanese Type 26 Service Revolver with a mint holster and strap & still with a copy of the war trophy papers!!!  The Meiji 26 Revolver, (1892) had an extremely long service life; it was the standard side of of the Russo Japanese War and was still carried during WW2 right up to the end of hostilities.    By anybody’s standards it was a well obsolete design even before WWI but was still carried into combat even though it was not particularly effective due to the low powered 9mm Japanese Revolver round except at very close range.  Today it is a must have for the serious collector of Pacific war small arms.  This is only the second example that we have had that still retained documentation.
