Here is a nice December 1944 manufactured Japanese Type 14 Nambu pistol in 8mm Nambu caliber with a 4 1/2" barrel having a bright, excellent bore. This pistol has serial number 65328, is date coded "19.12", is Nagoya Arsenal marked and features the large winter style trigger guard. The metal surfaces retain perhaps 70% evenly thinning original blue finish which is starting to turn a brown patina and match the balance which is a brown patina. The plain wood grips rate near excellent with a couple light dings. The original magazine rates excellent other than being re-stamped to match the number on the pistol. Mechanically, this pistol appears to function perfectly. Included with the pistol is the original coconut shell style canvas flap holster. The flap has become detached and no other accessories are present.  {C&R}
