8/19/20 - This is an excellent and super early Type 14 Nambu, made in August of 1927 at the Nagoya arsenal. It has all matching numbers, including the grips and magazine, though the magazine appears to have gone through the armory a second time as the first serial is crossed out. The blue rates at 98% with a bit of high edge wear, and a spot of finish loss on the trigger guard. There's also some oxidation throughout, especially on the straps.
