5/5/21 - This is a nice example of an early Nambu Type 14 issued to the Japanese military in July of 1929 - one of the earliest we've sold. It is all matching and comes with an early nickel-plated magazine that is mismatched to the gun. Also comes with original matching grips. The gun has retained roughly half of its finish. There is thinning, tiny pin-pricks, and light brown patina throughout. Areas of minor pitting on the straps and chamber. The rifling in the bore is worn, and there are areas of pitting here and there.
