Arisaka Type 38 6.5mm - Chrysanthemum 100% INTACT!!!

Description:

This highly collectable WW2 Type 38 Arisaka with the MUM 100% intact is in great condition with the usual service knocks and battle damage to the wood, these simply don't come along often & have, in our experience become harder to find in original condition, with MUM intact.
This Type 38 Arisaka has sharp bright proof marks, which in the collector world is everything…I haven’t seen one with the MUM and marking so good, don't delay if you think this is for you, WOULD SUIT ANY SERIOUS WW2 MILITARY COLLECTION.
The condition is great as can be seen in the photos & the desirable Emperor’s Chrysanthemum (MUM) is 100% intact, which as you know is a rare thing. It is common knowledge that at the end of the war, all surrendered Japanese rifles had the MUM either ground, scrubbed or somehow defaced lending credence to the story that this is a battlefield capture.
This interesting & genuinely collectable rifle would be a great addition for any astute collector who wants a rifle with a history and may well have belonged to a Japanese Marine and not just a Japanese rifle.
The bore is great with very defined rifling so definitely a shooter! Chambered in 6.5 Jap the barrel is still tight & not worn
