TUE DEC 30, JAPANESE TYPE 2 PARATROOPER RIFLE, ALL MATCHING, NICE!

Straight out of the woodwork!!! This is a very nice completely double matched rare 1943 production Japanese Nagoya Arsenal Type 2 Paratrooper Takedown Rifle.   It is double matching numbered, by the rifle serial number and the takedown assembly number.   Of course the Imperial crest is intact, and the bore is mint, and as it is early production it has the complete anti-aircraft sight. The only issue with the piece is that the stock has some varnish shlooped on it by the vet who brought it back.   This is a totally as issued textbook example of the famous and highly collectible Japanese Type 2 Takedown Paratrooper Rifle.

This rifle is believed to have been vet brought back from the Philippines, it was a combat used rifle and was a battlefield pickup.  There were several units of Japanese Paratroopers who fought all through out the Philippines campaign and even staged one very notable raid on American Airfields.  NO doubt this was pulled off of a very dead one.  This is a Top Tier Pacific War Trophy!!!
