In 98% mint sharp condition, all matching including the magazine, we have a Nagoya Nambu Type 14 Nambu Pistol. This pistol is dated 14.5 for May 1939 and is what collectors refer to as the Small Trigger guard Nambu. These early Pre WWII Type 14 Japanese service pistols were in constant combat in China from the early 1930’s prior to WW2 and saw hard use right through 1945.
It has always been a real challenge to find a small trigger guard Nambu Pistol that still has the factory original matching magazine, you just do not ever see them, so this is a big plus with this pistol. These small trigger guard variants are as avidly collected as Lugers.
Scotty’s Collector Insight, it’s not easy to obtain a small trigger guard variant Type 14 that still has the matching magazine and we rarely see them. This is a very fine example that came out of one of the top Japanese Pistol Collections in the world.
