These marks are shown in the following table. The white lettering is not original and I added this to the rifle after it was fully cleaned and inspected. These next two photographs are of the anti-aircraft rear sight that is found on the Arisaka Type 99 rifle. Being that this is a 5th series rifle and Nagoya went to series 12 during the years of 1939 to 1945, a rough guess would place the age of this rifle some where around 1942. Once they reached 100,000, a new symbol was added to the front of the serial number and it was started again from 0 and went to 99,999. In 1933 the serial numbering system was replaced by a system in which rifles were numbered in blocks, or series, of 100,000 at a time. The Type 99 featured on this page was made at the Nagoya arsenal and is a late 5th series rifle. If you ever have the opportunity to purchase a war relic and the seller is claiming that it is a 'vet bring back' or has a fantastic story to go along with the inflated price of the item, always try to remember to base what you think the item is worth just on the item and not the story. The list goes on and no one really knows for sure and the circumstances for each rifle will be different. The rifle has its mum intact and the correct markings on the receiver, so this is not a trainer or school rifle. The bolt matches the serial number on the receiver. I do not know the series or manufacturer. I am looking to purchase a Type 38 rifle (full length). The purpose of these specially-marked rifles is not known, although it is speculated that they were issued to paramilitary forces such as the Kempei Tai (Japanese Secret Police), other military police, and guards at prisons, embassies, and other civil instillations. A small number of Type 38 and Type 99 rifles had two concentric circles on the receiver in place of the chrysanthemum. What I find interesting is that so many people consider. The Japanese Arisaka Type 38 and 99 rifles are among the best bolt action rifles fielded during WWII.
Serial Number Lookup Stolen Serial Number Lookup For Guns. The serial number should be on the left side of the receiver. The rifle mimics the Type 38 (model 1905) 6.5 Arisaka. This mark can be found on the left side of the receiver at the end of the rifle serial number.
