Description
7/23/26 - This is a rare Baby Nambu pistol that was manufactured at the Tokyo Arsenal in the 1910s. The Baby Nambu was developed as a personal weapon for high ranking Japanese officers and only about 6,500 were made in total. Considered by collectors to be one of the most beautiful handguns made in pre-war Japan, it featured ornamental knurling on the cocking knob and high quality “rust” blue, that rivaled European handguns of the era. This one is all matching and comes with one original matching-numbered magazine. While the gun shows almost no actual finish loss, there is some frosting/dulling on the grip straps, some areas of light freckling here and there, a small area of minor pitting at the left front of the frame, and a small dot of discoloration on the left side of the barrel. Fitted with excellent matching-numbered wood grips. Unfortunately, the barrel is bulged. Otherwise, the bore is minty.
