Japanese Type 99 Arisaka 7.7mm – Intact Chrysanthemum – Military Stock – WWII

Japanese Type 99 Arisaka bolt-action military rifle chambered in 7.7x58mm Japanese, manufactured for the Imperial Japanese military during WWII. This is a solid representative example that retains several desirable military features.

Most importantly, the Imperial chrysanthemum (“mum”) remains present and has not been ground or slashed, an important feature for collectors of Japanese military rifles. The rifle retains its military-pattern stock and hardware, including the full-length two-piece Type 99 stock configuration, handguard, barrel bands, sling swivels and military sights. The rear sight retains the graduated ladder assembly.

The stock has a very attractive reddish-brown military appearance and remains structurally intact. It shows numerous dents, scratches, handling marks and other honest service/storage wear consistent with an original military rifle. A Japanese inspection/cartouche marking is visible in the wood. There are also several old holes/marks in the stock that are clearly shown in the photographs.

Metal surfaces retain a dark military finish with expected age and handling wear. The bolt and other numbered components do not match, suggesting the rifle was reassembled or arsenal serviced at some point in its history. We are therefore selling it as a non-matching example rather than representing it as an untouched matching rifle.

Mechanically, the rifle has good fit and function, and the bore is in good condition. Chambered for the original Type 99 7.7 Japanese (7.7x58mm) cartridge.

A very appealing WWII Japanese rifle for a military collection, particularly because of the unslashed/unground Imperial mum.
