Description

In excellent minus condition, all matching except for the dust cover, we have a very late production Nagoya 2nd Series Arisaka Type 44 Carbine.   As such, this places this on a higher level of desirability than your typical third variation Type 44.  If you are an advanced Japanese rifle collector or you are looking for just one outstanding example this would be a great piece to own.  One of the most distinctive looking of the Japanese Military long arms of the 20th century, these carbines were extensively used in China by the cavalry and mounted infantry, so they were used long and hard.  Finding nice examples has always been a challenge.
