2/8/22 - This is a very nice example of a Nambu Type 26 revolver rig. The Type 26 or Model 26 "hammerless" revolver was the first modern revolver adopted by the Imperial Japanese Army. It was developed at the Koishikawa Arsenal and is named for its year of adoption in the Japanese dating system (the 26th year of the reign of the Meiji emperor, i.e., 1893). The revolver saw action in conflicts including the Russo-Japanese War, World War I and World War II. This particular gun comes with an excellent period-correct leather holster - there are a few stitches missing from the right side of the top flap. The gun itself has retained about 90% of its finish. Most of the finish loss is on the left side of the frame, where the finish is also discolored. This leads us to believe the gun may have been arsenal-refinished. There is a series of small dings in the metal on the right side of the frame. Very minor pitting on both grip straps. Minor wear around the muzzle. Comes with nice period-correct wood grips. Mint bore.
