sold JAPANESE TYPE 14 NAMBU JUNE 1943 MATCHING MAG

IN 97% CONDITION, ALL MATCHING INCLUDING THE MAGAZINE, WE HAVE A VERY DESIRABLE TYPE 14 NAMBU. THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF AN EARLY MID WAR TYPE 14 NAMBU WITH THE LARGE TRIGGERGUARD, MADE ALL THE MORE DESIRABLE WITH THE MATCHING MAG. THE LARGE TRIGGERGUARD WAS DEVLOPED FOR IMPROVED ERGONOMICS WITH A GLOVED HAND. DURING WW2 THEY WERE FIRST ENCOUNTERED IN THE ALUETIANS AND WERE REFERRED TO BY US MILITARY INTELLIGENCE AS THE KISKA MODEL. IT WAS NOT KNOWN AT THE TIME THAT THIS WAS THE STANDARD MODEL THAT WAS CURRENTLY IN PRODUCTION. DURING THE WAR IN THE PACIFIC THIS WAS A VERY HIGHLY PRIZED WAR TROPHY AND WAS ALMOST WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ONE SOLID EXAMPLE FOR YOUR COLLECTION THIS WOULD BE A GREAT GUN FOR YOU.
