SOLD - Scarce Arisaka Type 97 Sniper Rifle (5899 - 16916)

Description

7/29/21 - This is a very early example of the Japanese Type 97 sniper rifle, made at the Kokura factory. It retains about 95% of the arsenal refinish and has a partially ground mum (common on these Japanese rifles). There is pitting on all metal surfaces, and though not deep, the entire rifle has surface pitting. All numbers except for the dust cover. Excellent bore and wood without defects, other than the normal field wear (usual nicks and scratches). Sharp proof marks on metal and wood and on top of the buttplate. The rifle is complete with an original mismatched scope with very nice scope can with intact straps. The optics are in great condition.
