12/11/23 - This is a nice example of a Baby Nambu that was likely part of a private purchase for a Japanese officer of either the Army or Navy. The marking on the top of the chamber indicates it was manufactured in the Tokyo Arsenal. The gun is all matching and comes with one original matching magazine. The gun has retained roughly 90% of its original bluing. The most obvious sign of wear is pin-pricking and spotty oxidation in the metal throughout. This is typical for these guns since they were used mostly around salt water. There is also minor wear on the high edges of the slide. Excellent grips. The bore is fairly shiny but the rifling shows some wear and there's some freckling in the grooves.
