    Need a couple values and a ID on unknown rifle

    My wife is going through her fathers estate cleaning up and has a few weapons. Would like someone with a value book to give me a ballpark what they are worth.

    1. OF Mossberg and Sons Model 146B (Wife said it's a shotgun, but a search shows me it's a .22 LOL)

    2. JC HIGGINS Model 20 - 12 Gauge shotgun

    3. Wife can't find anything but the markings in the pics and a serial of 5808X, Looks like Chinese? Japanese? symbols, above it looks like a nazi war marking partially removed? Can't tell for sure, sorry for the cell phone pics.

    I'm no expert on ww2 rifles, but isn't that a Japanese Arisaka with the mum removed?

    Yeah me too. Not sure which type, apparently the holes are normal. Gas vents into the chamber. Never would've imagined they were designed that way.

    What happened to the other replies? Is this a duplicate thread? I repied twice to this earlier....????

    Yeah - Gunreferrence1 also had replies.... WTF????

    This is definately a M38 - 6.5x50 Japanese - ammo available at Grafs.com

    The holes in the receiver area are normal.

    The mum was ground off of all turn-ins after the war - the mum is the symbol of the Jap Emporer's ownership...
