1/4/21 - This is a very nice example of a rare Japanese Baby Nambu. This one has a particularly early serial number and was manufactured in the early 1900's. This one also has Kanji writing on the top and right side of the slide. It looks like it was added post-production. This one is all matching and has retained roughly 90% of its original finish. While there isn't much actual finish loss there are areas of pitting throughout, most noticeable on the barrel, left side of the slide, and back strap. There is wear along the left edge of the slide. It has excellent grips (matching) and comes with one original matching magazine. The bore is very nice - shiny with decent rifling.
