9/28/22 - This is a very nice example of an early Nambu Type 14 issued to the Japanese military in August of 1929. It is all matching and comes with a period-correct magazine that is not matching. It has retained about 97% of its original finish with just very minor wear around some of the high edges. While there is very little actual finish loss, there is some light pin-pricking along the barrel and top of the slide. Brown patina on the grip straps. A few small areas of tiny pits on the right side of the slide. Comes with very nice matching-numbered grips. The bore has nice rifling, but there are some tiny pits around the muzzle end.
