19" barrel in 6.5mm caliber. This carbine has the third variation long type bayonet housing. This was manufactured at the Chigusa Factory of Nagoya Arsenal. Has the inverted V front sight with Y guards. Has the royal mum signifying Type 44 on top. Two piece buttstock with full length hand guard and two underside drain holes. Has the knurled safety with small tang indicator. Cleaning rod and all blued parts. Standard folding bayonet and side sling swivels. All metal surfaces are a dark patina with some minor salt and pepper finish. Bolt is numbered to gun. Wood is very good with usual dings. Trigger guard finish has bubbled and has a rough texture. This carbine has seen use but is a good representative example of a fairly scarce World War II rifle.
