I still occasionally get emails from people asking for help identifying their Arisakas. More often than not someone thinks they have something unusual that turns out not to be. Recently, however, a guy sent me some pix that really raised my eyebrows. His father picked up the rifle in Tokyo after the war (the officers got all of the “good” stuff and he took some of the “junk” at the end). Turns out he picked up a very late, no serial, no series Tokyo Juki Kogyo with rope hole stock – mum intact. Needs a little clean up, but it’s one of the real “Holy Grails” of Arisaka collecting... I’ll see if he’ll let me post pix later.
