Japanese Type B "Baby Nambu" semi-automatic pistol. Made 1903-1929 in limited numbers at the Tokyo Arsenal in Koishikawa Japan. This is a mid production gun, presumably made 1915-1920. Nice Arsenal stamp on the chamber. Serial number on the frame and magazine are matching. Standard round barrel with blade front sight. Reapplied blued finish has formed a nice patina in most areas. Full checkered wood grips are original. Includes matching magazine. CONDITION: Metal retains 70% of its finish with mild handling marks and wear and some areas of old oxidation under the blue. Grips are solid overall with mild wear to the checkering and handling marks. There is a chip out of the left grip, on top edge. Fair bore with wear and poor rifling. Mechanically fine. EW
CORRECTION: This lot is chambered in 7mm Nambu, not 8mm as stated in the title.
