10/29/19 - This is a near-mint Type 14 Nambu from July of 1938. The original blue rates at about 98% with minor muzzle wear, and a hint of finish loss on the front strap and trigger guard. The straps also have some minor oxidation. Excellent bore and grips, which are hand numbered with the last 3 digits of the pistol's serial. The magazine is period original but mismatched to the gun.
