Description

3/7/26 - This is a minty all-matching Baby Nambu pistol that was manufactured at the Tokyo Arsenal in the 1910s. The Baby Nambu was developed as a sidearm 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 a high quality “rust” blue, that rivaled European handguns of the era. This particular pistol has about 97% of the original blue. There's bits of oxidation on the front of the trigger guard and on the underside of the barrel near the muzzle. There's also just a hint of finish loss on the forward rail on the left side of the slide. The magazine is in great shape and is matching to the pistol. The grips are in excellent condition and are matching to the handgun as well. The right grip has a spot of glue or wax in the center of the grip. The bore is bright with strong rifling. Comes with an excellent condition reproduction holster.
