2. Information on her is as follows. 16 petal chrysanthemum; and the Japanese characters for 99 and the Shiki(type) symbol. Has U.S. import markings on the barrel which is rare for a 99 as most 99's were captured by the Chinese. Nagoya Arsenal symbol. Stock is in excellent condition with minute crack. Bluing 90 to 95% with a slight bit of pitting under the barrel. Monopod is not original as it came from Gun Pats Corup. Dust cover is original but not matching in numbers. Cleaning rod is included. Forward ring swivel is missing and no bayonet. Matching numbers on the bolt and receiver.

3. $200.00.:D

1. I had been scoping one out to finish my collection for a week that was why I wanted to know the caliber. I finally got the pics yesterday and sealed the deal same day.:p

Congratulations Neil, but you know there are many variations and arsenals for the Jap rifles.

You still have a long way to go. :)
