NOTE!!!- WE HAVE JUST CAME INTO POSSESSION OF AN EXCELLENT 1942 DATED GERMAN LUGER ALONG WITH THE TYPEWRITTEN AND SIGNED LETTER FROM THE VET THAT CAPTURED IT IN NORTH AFRICA AND HERE IT
IS!!!
Jmf Consignment 365 Here we have a very special item! This is a WW2 German Lugar captured by an Airman in North Africa!! This Airman is Staff Sgt. Howard Hoehn who captured this luger in 1943 in Tunisia. We have the original letter signed by
Howard recalling the capture of the piece. He took it off a dead Motorcycle Soldier at a recent battle! A collector friend of mine purchased this Luger directly from Howard in 2002. Howard recently died in 2019 at the age of 98 so it's time
for my friend to move this on as he is in his 70's as well. We have Howards' obit with this grouping as well. The Luger had one magazine and Howard purchased another but we have been unable to find that other magazine but if we do we
will include it. Howard was stationed in Trinidad but was sent on detached service to a temporary Air Field in Tunisia, North Africa to assist in changing engines on B-24 planes which had been grounded. Howard and two other GI's went on
a little sightseeing trip and ran across this battlefield in which he spotted a wrecked German motorcycle with it's rider deceased. They found his Luger still in the holster and fished it out then putting it in his pocket as they were
not supposed to take souveniers at that time. Howard snuck it back into the country and it was never discovered. I have all of that info in his letter along with the serial number of the Luger. Now on to the Luger:
This is an example of a pre-WWII German Nazi Luger pistol that was manufactured by Mauser in 1935. 1935 was the second year of renewed Luger production, as the Nazis already had designs on Lebensraum in Eastern Europe and
payback against the French. Fixed sights, with the "G" date mark on the chamber and "S/42" on the front toggle link. Straw colored small parts, checkered grips and a blued magazine with aluminum base. Minus the magazine, the
numbers are matching.
This 1935 pattern has by the following features:
* Flat, checkered toggle knobs.
* No grip safety (except for special models like the Mauser Banner grip safety and the Krieghoff grip safety models).
* Stock lug.
* Salt blue finish.
* Aluminum-base magazine.
* Six-groove rifling, 1 turn in 25 cm.The "G" Code denotes the last date of production as 1935. This was the last year that the germans concealed their production date on weaons of war. This pistol is all matching numbers not including the
magazine. The Luger is in very fine condition and would rate up there in condition overall. The straw parts are very strong with somewhat light wear on the inside of the trigger. The original blue rust is very nice and the grips pretty nice as well
with a depression in the obverse grip at the top. The bore and chamber show almost no wear at all. Very nice! The aluminum toggle plug on the magazine shows the serial number of 2634 as well as what looks like an eagle over 63. Take a
look at the pics! They pretty much say it all! Fantastic!!! Finding original WW2 weapons with signed documentation as to where and when this vet acquired it is getting quite rare today. C&R Eligible ! Take a look at the pics! They pretty
much say it all! Fantastic!!! For this firearm and the history $7,500.00

Japanese Arisaka Type 99 7.7 mm rifles:
The Type 99 rifle Arisaka was a bolt-action rifle of the Arisaka design used by the Imperial Japanese Army during World
War II.
During the Second Sino-Japanese War in the 1930s, the Japanese soon found that the 7.7mm cartridge being fired by their Type 92 heavy machine gun in China was superior to the
6.5×50mm cartridge of the Type 38 rifle. This necessitated the development of a new weapon to replace the outclassed Type 38, and finally standardize on a single rifle cartridge.
The Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) developed the Type 99 based on the Type 38 rifle but with a caliber of 7.7mm. The Type 99 was produced at nine different arsenals. Seven arsenals
were located in Japan, with the other two located at Mukden in Manchukuo and Jinsen in Korea.
The IJA had intended to completely replace the Type 38 with the Type 99 by the end of the war. However, the outbreak of the Pacific war never allowed the army to completely replace
the Type 38 and so the IJA used both rifles extensively during the war. As the war progressed, more and more cost saving steps were introduced in order to speed up production. Late
war rifles are often called "last ditch" or "substitute standard" due to their crudeness of finish. They are generally as crude as the 1945 dated Mauser K98k of Germany, or worse.
The Type 99 was produced in four versions, the regular issue Type 99 short rifle, the Type 99 long rifle (a limited production variant), the take-down Type 2 paratroop rifle, and the
Type 99 sniper rifle. The standard rifle also came with a wire monopod and an anti-aircraft sighting device. The Type 99 was the first mass-produced infantry rifle to have a chrome
lined bore to ease cleaning. All of these features were abandoned by mid-war.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jmf A. This rifle is a very nice Type 99 Arisaka Rifle in 7.7mm. The action works great and it has a great bore! The receiver is marked 9 9 type and the mum has been only
lightly cancelled. The two piece stock is in very nice condition as well. The stock has a ding or two but no cracks or breaks. The long range sight is missing
the aircraft lead arms but otherwise complete. I find many later rifles missing these arms so I think at one point they left them off. There is also no dust
cover or monopod which is quite common as well. The sling swivels are present and in good condition. Cleaning rod is missing. This rifle was manufactured at
the Nagoya Arsenal which made rifles from 1923 to 1945. Serial number 5605. I believe this is a series 5 rifle. No import marks. Check out the pics! $495.00
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jmf SOLD !! B. During World War II the Type 99 rifle was the standard long arm of the Japanese Imperial Army. However as the tides of war turned against Japan, Japanese industry found that it had to produce more and more rifles using less and
less resources. This involved several modifications to the Type 99 which simplified it. By the last year of the war Japan was manufacturing “last ditch rifles”, which were Type 99’s simplified so much that they were basically
reduced to nothing more than a working rifle. While they fired, the effectiveness and quality of such rifles was questionable.
This rifle is a nice 34th series "Last Ditch" type 99 rifle with the mum intact. This one still has a few refinements that are not on the last "Last Ditch" riflessuch as a bayonet lug and sling swivels. This one also has the dust
cover intact. The quality is a little lacking, but believe me, it gets much worse!! This rifle is in good condition but more crudely made than the earlier ones. You can see welds on the front barrel band and it has a wooden butt
plate plus no cleaning rod. The cocking knob is not knurled being blob welded on as well. Still a two piece dovetailed stock with a handguard and still rather nice. The rifle has a crude later rear block sight and a front wedge
blade sight. No long range sight on this series. This rifle was manfactured at Toyo Kogyo in Hiroshima. This rifle has Japanese characters on the stock but I do not know what they mean so if you do let me know and I will post it.
The action works well on this 7.7mm rifle and the bore/rifling is good. All in all a good example of a last attempt to continue war. $695.00
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jmf C. This Arisaka Type 99 7.7mm rifle is an import from C.A.I. (Central Arms International) out of Vermont. This is one that was imported from China sometime after the war. It's rare to find a Japanese Arisaka with import markings
on it as most were destroyed after the war except for G.I.Bringbacks but the U.S. Government furnished Japanese Arisaka's to the Chinese after the war. This one has seen hard use but is still mostly intact and has the Mum intact as
well! This rifle is from the Nagoya Arsenal (1923-1945). The rifle is in generally good condition with good markings. The stock is in good "dinged" condition having been used considerably and the bore is quite serviceable. This
rifle has the cleaning rod. It is missing the front barrel sling but has the rear sling. The rear sight is the long range sight without the aircraft leading "wings", never had them. The front sight is the typical protected sight.
THe action works well. Nice old Arisaka and lucky to be here since it went to China after the War !!! Check out the pics!!! $495.00

Italian Carcano Rifle in 6.5 shortened to sporter SOLD!!
Carcano is the frequently used name for a series of Italian bolt-action, magazine-fed, repeating military rifles and carbines. Introduced in 1891, this rifle was chambered for the
rimless 6.5×52mm Carcano round (Cartuccia Modello 1895). It was developed by the chief technician Salvatore Carcano at the Turin Army Arsenal in 1890, and was originally called the
Modello (model) 91 or simply M91. Successively replacing the previous Vetterli-Vitali rifles and carbines in 10.35×47mmR, it was produced from 1892 to 1945. The M91 was used in both
rifle (fucile) and shorter-barreled carbine (moschetto) form by most Italian troops during World War I and by Italian and some German forces during World War II. The rifle was also
used during the Winter War by Finland, and again by regular and irregular forces in Syria, Libya, Tunisia and Algeria during various postwar conflicts in those countries.
This particular Carcano Rifle/Carbine has has the stock shortened and the original front barrel band removed. Also the top hand guard is missing. I think that this one originally had provisions for a bayonet to be attached.
The barrel is 17 inches long to the receiver making me believe that it is the original barrel. The receiver has good markings on it including the date of 1917. The stock that's left is in good condition and looks nice. The action works
very well and the bore is very nice! The original rear adjustable sight is still present and operating well. Should be a great shooter!!! For this piece $325.00

Jmf type B baby nambu 7mm pistol SOLD!!!
The Nambu Automatic Pistol Type B, or “Baby Nambu” as it is known in US collecting circles, is a scaled-down companion to the 1902 “Grandpa” Nambu pistol. It was
intended as a private purchase option for officers who needed to carry a sidearm, but did not want or need a full size service pistol. It was chambered for the 7mm
Nambu cartridge (roughly on par with .25ACP).
Despite its small size and light cartridge, the Baby Nambu copied the complete locking system of the larger Nambu, resulting in a quite expensive pistol. As a result,
demand was somewhat lacking, and only 6500 were manufactured between 1903 and 1929, when production ended. Most of these were made by the Tokyo Army Arsenal, although production
did move to the TG&E company in about 1923 (presumably after the great Tokyo earthquake).
Just over 6,500 Baby Nambu pistols were manufactured from 1907 to 1923. Six thousand units came from the Tokyo Arsenal ( as this one did) , while five hundred units were produced by Tokyo Gas &
Electric. Assembly took place until 1929. In 1923, the production of the Baby Nambu was halted because of the devastation caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake.
The Type B Model was initially intended for use by paratroopers and tank crews. It was never officially adopted by the Japanese Army, but it was made available to service
members at discounted rates. Unfortunately, the cost of the Nambu equaled to about twice a new Lieutenant's pay in 1923, making it too expensive for a military contract.
This particular pistol is in good condition having some moderately severe pitting in a few places as you can see in the photographs indicating that it was stored poorly.
The grips are prefect as well as the action and the bore is excellent! Except for the pitting this pistol has an excellent finish! Hard to believe that any pitting is here.
This is a rare, hard to find pistol in any conditon! All s/n match except the magazine. Usually brings about $5500.00 but in this conditon this one is $3200.00 Check out the pics!!!

jmf 356 Consignment
Here we have a Japanese WW2 era type 38 training rifle probably for a school. Starting in the 1920's, the Japanese government required all junior and senior high school boys to have two hours a week of military training. Several companies started producing the necessary training rifles for this purpose. These training rifles had no standard design and were often made from older models of military rifles or parts from these rifles. Therefore you will find many variations of the same model. There are known models that used 1888 Mauser, type 99, type 30, and type 38 rifle parts. These training rifles continued to be produced until the late 1930's. Some of these rifles could not be fired while others would fire wooden bullet blank ammunition. Many of the blank firing rifles were made with smooth bore barrels. Rarely would any of these rifles fire the standard service round. Nearly all of these training rifles could carry bayonets. This one is in excellent overall condition and except for the smooth bore one would think that this is an operable firearm. Why the Japanese didn't make functional weapons that could fire both types of ammo is beyond me. This particular rifle is of an excellent quality with loading magazine, good sights, and a cleaning rod. There are no markings on the receiver like the military rifles. The serial number is 174 and matches on the bolt as well. The stock is in very good condition and only has one small chip out of it that I have shown in a pic below. The Japanese characters are stamped on the obverse and reverse buttstock. This rifle functions flawlessly and looks great. For this piece of history $295.00
355.JAH Consignment Modern guns 81 Here we have an old Czechoslovakian VZ-24 Mauser in 7.92 mm caliber with a 23 inch barrel to the receiver. This thing has been shortened with a pistol grip but has the original length 24 inch barrel with the original sights.
The action works just fine but I have not shot it. It's kind of rough but still neat! You just wonder what the motivation was for this! The bore is dark but you can still see groove pretty well. Take a look at the pics! $250.00

Jmf 351 SOLD! Here we have a good WW2 Japanese Nambu 8mm pistol with the Nagoya Arsenal mark. This particular pistol was made in 1943. When the company’s “original series” production reached serial number 99999, it began its “First
Series” production and added the First Series symbol, the first letter of the Japanese katakana “alphabet”. This is the same symbol used for the First Series Toriimatsu guns described in an earlier section. The mark looks like an
upside down letter y in a circle. These were the only Type 14s with three symbols in front of the serial number: the Nagoya Arsenal logo, the Nambu company logo and the First Series marker. Yes, it seems odd to us to call it the
“First Series” when they had a run of serial numbers before that, but think of first as meaning “the first series that needed a series designation because we had used all the permissible serial numbers without one”. The symbols were
poorly struck on a very crudely machined, uneven surface (attention to finishing was already breaking down by the time this gun was made). This nambu also has the larger trigger guard. The action seems to work well and there is nice
rifling down the barrel. There is some rust on this piece and some pitting noted on back and fore strap of the grip which you can see in the pics. This is definitely a vet bring back but the history has been lost I am afraid. Take a
look at the pics! For this old symbol of the Rising Sun $895.00

Jmf 350 SOLD Here we have a parts revolver. It's been nickeled and I believe it was originally blue. This is a Colt Commando in .38 caliber. It's a govt. issue and I can still see the govt. inspectors initials above the cylinder to the
rear of the frame. The Colt commando was developed as a Handgun For Guards and Aircrew. The production of the Official Police revolver would be interrupted with the advent of the Colt Commando at the outbreak of World War II. The
necessity arose for the Colt Commando as the CMC was deluged with government orders for the M1911A1 pistol and other guns, and a desperate need developed to cut production time and costs in the manufacture line of the Official Police
revolver. Little is known about the role of the Colt Commando during World War II as a variant of the Official Police revolver. According to gun historian Charles Pate, “Many more [Commandos] were used by the military than is commonly
known.” Well, this one has been there and done that! Nothing left now except the frame, frame yoke, cylinder and barrel. A complete one of these revolvers sold recently for $1.275.00 Since this one is just parts $75.00 \

tc 349 SOLD!! Here we have a vintage WW2 Australian used flare Gun! This Signal Device is Very Nice, Numbers Matching, Australian 43 (1943) MK. III CSR (Central Sugar Refinery) Sydney Flare Gun / Signal Pistol
of the Webley Pattern. Here are some of the details:
Dated 43 (1943) and bears crisp, legible, military acceptance marks on all parts of the gun.
Flared Barrel Length is 6" and bore is in excellent, moderately clean condition (I haven't cleaned it so what you see is what you get).
Walnut Grips are in good Condition with Minor Scratches with one chip out of the reverse grip. The grips seem to be slightly different but by the impressions on the underside of the grips they have been on this particular flare gun a long, long time.
All parts of the gun are tight and work fine and includes the lanyard ring. .
Brass has not been cleaned and has a very nice old patina. It looks great!

Jmf Consignment 347 Here we have a beautiful Late Postwar Bolo Model Model 1896 “Broomhandle Mauser Pistol”. These type of pistols were manufactured from 1896 to 1939. This model has the walnut grips with 22 grooves and looks like the early model 1930 model except that model has 12 grooves in the grips. This one has the usual Mauser markings that you can see in the pics and two Chinese characters which is not uncommon. This firearm comes with an original wooden holster/stock and the pistol fits nicely inside. The slot on the pistol is a little shorter than the piece that fits in it on the holster so this holster may be for another gun. The holster has a turn wheel to tighten it up on the grip and that does work but not the greatest in the world. There are no markings on the wooden holster stock. This is one beautiful outfit !!! For this set $1950.00
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consignment SOLD!!! Here’s a dandy Colt 1911 .45 Pistol! I was really excited at first because the slide is marked Colt in the pre ww1 way and the serial number is a 3 digit number which would have had it being made in the first year of
production! It should have been marked U.S.Navy but instead it was marked U.S. Army and I noticed that there was a ‘0’ starting the serial number which I thought was odd and then I thought that the font of the serial number numbers were
all wrong so I did some more checking and to my utter surprise I found a manufacturers marking above that serial number! It is so small I almost couldn’t see it without a magnifier! The real manufacture of this Colt 1911 is AR SALES CO from
So. Elmonte, Ca! There were in business from 1968 to 1977 and not only put 1911’s together from parts but mfg. aluminum frames. This one has the aluminum frame with original Colt parts and it looks just like it ought to look which is kind
of scarey! It functions very well and looks great! Bore is great! Look at the pics.. Instead of purchasing the first year of production Colt for $8,000.00 you can have this great look alike with original Colt parts for $925.00 !!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jmf 346 Here we have a black dyed leather US 1911 Holster marked US and made by Boyt. Boyt holsters are usually dated but I cannot find a date on this one. This holster was found hanging in the attic so consequently is kind of hard and needs some leather preservative put on it. Even a little neetsfoot oil should soften it up a bit. The shoulder holster rig seems complete and was a favority amongst Tanker crews I was told. You can have this original rig for $150.00
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tc 345 SOLD Here we have a .22 training rifle. This is a Cugir single shot .22 LR firearm. The Cugir model was a military trainer that was made for the Romanian Army. This particular rifle is in good condition with just an age crack in the Beech stock along with several dings from use. The barrel is heavy being 27 ½ inches long with a heavy block sight at the rear blade sight at the front. The receiver is marked with the Crest and the UMC CUGIR. The S/N is 1956-12469 and I believe it was made in 1956. This rifle is all original and has not been messed with! I see no import marks on it. It’s heavy for a .22 weighing a whopping 8 pounds!!! Check out the pics!!! For this piece of History $325.00

jmf 344 m1 garand stock SOLD!!! Here we have an unused M1 Garand stock. We believe that this one came from old arsenal restock stock but it is not marked. The hand guard is not included and we do not have it but otherwise this stock is complete and in very nice dusty condition! NO cracks or breaks! For this one $40.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consignment 343 SOLD!!! Here we have a great early condition Japanese WW2 Nambu T-14 8mm pistol! This pistol was made in May 1937 under the Nagoya Arsenal supervision by Koku Dunji. The condition is like unissued but I am sure it
was captured as there is a photo of an American Girl under one of the grips. I cannot make out what is written on the back side of the photo. The action is superb and the bore is excellent. The only wear is a little scratch where the safety was engaged on the frame which is not unusual. Use the safety one time and that scratch is there. Look at the pics!!! $1100.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consignment 342 Here we have another Japanese T-14 Nambu 8mm pistol in rubberized fabric holster with shoulder sling that was produced in November of 1943, notice the late style trigger guard to accommodate gloved fingers. Look like the name BEHREND is written in english letters on the holster. Probably the soldier that captured it but I have no info on that. This is a Toriimatsu Second Series pistol. It has the Nagoya arsenal symbol, followed by the series marker (a small square inside a circle), followed by the serial number which is 103. The little square in the series marker is the Japanese katakana (phonetic) symbol ro (pronounced as in “row your boat”); it is the second “letter” in the traditional order of the Japanese “alphabet”. Serial numbers in the Second Series run from 1 to around 73000, with a handful of very late guns bearing out-of-sequence numbers in the 75000 and 76000 range so you can see this is a VERY early 2nd series gun. This pistol is in very good condition with aged finish on the weapon but still really nice. I believe this weapon saw lots of use but still in excellent operating condition with a nice bore-the bore isn’t perfect but still pretty nice and shootable by all means. Also this pistol comes with the original late rubberized fabric holster that is in good condition! The little tie down tab on the front has fractured but is still there as well as one of the three little springs that hold it down with tension is broker but the other two are still intact. The paper label is missing in the inside of the lid however some Japanese characters are still present on the inside shell.

Consignment 341 Here we have another Late war Japanese T-14 Nambu pistol in 8mm. This one has a better finish than the one above being about 90% or better. Most of the wear is on the high edges. This particular pistol was made in February of 1944. This is also a Toriimatsu Second Series pistol. It has the Nagoya arsenal symbol, followed by the series marker (a small square inside a circle), followed by the serial number which is 17952. The little square in the series marker is the Japanese katakana (phonetic) symbol ro (pronounced as in “row your boat”); it is the second “letter” in the traditional order of the Japanese “alphabet”. Serial numbers in the Second Series run from 1 to around 73000, with a handful of very late guns bearing out-of-sequence numbers in the 75000 and 76000 range so you can see this is a 2nd year 2nd series gun. The pistol itself is in very nice condition and functions quite well! The bore has a bright mirror finish! About the only wear on this piece is where the safety was used. The holster is also the late style rubberized fabric holster but has no belt. Also the stitching has failed holding the lid on the main body so it needs resewn. That is the only thing wrong with this holster. Take a look at the pics! Quite nice! $1350.00

Consignment 340 Here we have a Model 14 Early Type (1925) Nambu Holster. The pouch holds 2 boxes of cartridges. There is a small pocket along front of the cartridge puch that contains a spare firing pin. The clean rod and an estra magazine was stored internally. This holster is well made of top-grade cowhide. Has the orignal should sling attached as well. This holster came without a pistol in it so we are offering it separately. $225.00

Consignment 339 SOLD!!! Here we have another outstanding Commercial P08 German Luger dated 1920. The only thing I see wrong with this Luger is that there is a little chip out of one of the grips. The numbers on this DWM Luger Looks to
perhaps been a rework because the front serial number on the frame is over stamped with the number 5774 j and that number matches on the rest of the Luger except for the later mfg. magazine. The action works fantastic and the bore is
pretty good as well. Receiver Proof marks indicatinb 1920-1926 production are stamped on one side of the receiver and an S in a circle next to GERMANY and the serial number 5774 are stamped on the other side of the receiver. The S in the
circle indicates that this is a Simpson Rework. Simson & Co S code - produced 1934-1936 under a Military contract (Reichwehr) being Caliber 9mm Parabellum - 4" barrel with 10,000-12,000 produced, 1 to 5 digit serial with letter as this one is. There is a
little finish wear here and there as one would expect but still rates excellent. If the magazine is any indication then this Luger was used by the Nazi's as the magazine is marked 37 and has the Nazi Eagle on it. Check out the pics! For this
nice Luger $2100.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consignment 338 SOLD!! This next Luger is an Erfurt Rework Luger in 9mm and is double dated 1918-1930. These Lugers are arsenal reworked WW1 Military pistols and were then issued to the German military of Police units in accordance with
the Treaty of Versailles. Many thousands of these Lugers were produce and hence many thousands were still being used by the Nazi’s during WW2. This one is most likely a Vet pickup as it has pitting conducive with laying out for a while in
the elements. It still functions but not as crisp as it once was and the bore is much nicer than the outer condition! The finish is dark and the grips have considerable wear on them. This pistol has the Military Proof on the
Breechblock of the1908 through 1914 models and has the Arsenal Proof for repair, refurbish, or modification plus other marks. The serial number 2184 is matching throughout. The magazine has 37 on it and the German Eagle of WW2
indicating WW2 usage and this magazine definitely matches the condition of the rest of the pistol. Here’s a real piece of history!! $850.00

Consignment…337 Here we have a very nice double dated 1916-1920 Dated P-08 German Luger. This one was made by DWM. Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken Aktiengesellschaft (German Weapons and Munitions public limited company), known as DWM, was an arms company in Imperial Germany created in 1896 when Ludwig Loewe & Company united its weapons and ammunition production facilities within one company. In 1896 Loewe founded Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken with a munitions plant in Karlsruhe (Baden), formerly Deutsche Metallpatronenfabrik Lorenz, and the weapons plant in Berlin.
These Lugers are arsenal reworked WW1 Military pistols and were then issued to the German military of Police units in accordance with the Treaty of Versailles. Many thousands of these Lugers were produce and hence many thousands were
still being used by the Nazi’s during WW2. This one shows signs of rework especially on the bottom of the grip frame next to the magazine slot. It’s not pretty there but it still works as it should. The rest of the Luger is in great condition
exept for a little chip out of the grip near the safety. This one is s/n 80 and is the same throughout except for the magazine which is numbered 6725 and has the Nazi Eagle on it with the number 63 stamped under it. This piece functions
just fine and the bore is fair to good with a little pitting present along it’s length. Very nice in spite of that frame repair. Check out the pics! $1250.00

Here we have a lot of Broom tail Mauser ammo in clips and in box! 7.63 MAUSER Ammo
7.63 Mauser ammunition goes by a few names, 7.63 x 25mm, 7.63 Mauser, and the .30 Mauser automatic. The round is quite proficient and famous, even if you’ve never heard of it before. 7.623 Mauser ammo was the round used in the famed C96
Mauser also known as the “Broomhandle Mauser”. That’s the famed weapon Han Solo wielded in the movie Star Wars. The Mauser factory has produced some of the greatest and most influential weapons and ammunition in the world. 7.63 Mauser
rounds were one of the first massively successful automatic cartridge rounds, paving the way for commercial development of automatic pistols the world over.
In Europe the round was widely adopted by everyone from Australia, Finland, Austria Hungary, to Germany. The 7.63 Mauser round was not only popular is pistols, but in sub machines guns as well. The Mauser C96 was also converted into one of the
first machine pistols. The cartridge found service in numerous wars all over the world, including World War 1 and the Finnish Civil War.
Today, 7.63 Mauser ammunition is still being produced and fired in weapons built over a hundred years ago. While the cartridge isn’t in service with any modern military, the round is still popular with numerous collectors, re-enactors, and enthusiasts.
7.63 Mauser is still quite popular with modern ammunition being manufactured for it.
The Mauser C96 (Construktion 96) is a semi automatic pistol that was originally produced by German arms manufacturer Mauser from 1896 to 1937. Unlicensed copies of the gun were also manufactured in Spain and China in the first half of the 20th
century.
The distinctive characteristics of the C96 are the integral box magazine in front of the trigger, the long barrel, the wooden shoulder stock which gives it the stability of a short-barreled rifle and doubles as a holster or carrying case, and a unique grip
shaped like the handle of a broom. The grip earned the gun the nickname "Broomhandle" in the English-speaking world because of its round wooden handle, and in China the C96 was nicknamed the "box cannon" (Chinese: ___; pinyin: hézipào)
because of its rectangular internal magazine and the fact it could be holstered in its wooden box-like detachable stock.
With its long barrel and high-velocity cartridge, the Mauser C96 had superior range and better penetration than most other pistols; the 7.63×25mm Mauser cartridge was the highest velocity commercially manufactured pistol cartridge until the advent
of the .357 Magnum cartridge in 1935.
Mauser manufactured approximately 1 million C96 pistols,]while the number produced in Spain and China was large but unknown due to the loss, non-existence or poor preservation of production records from those countries.
Here we have 95 vintage rounds of ammo and 9 separate stripper clips. $125 for the lot.

Japanese Arisaka Type 99 7.7 mm rifles: New Arrivals 62
The Type 99 rifle Arisaka was a bolt-action rifle of the Arisaka design used by the Imperial Japanese Army during World
War II.
During the Second Sino-Japanese War in the 1930s, the Japanese soon found that the 7.7mm cartridge being fired by their Type 92 heavy machine gun in China was superior to the
6.5×50mm cartridge of the Type 38 rifle. This necessitated the development of a new weapon to replace the outclassed Type 38, and finally standardize on a single rifle cartridge.
The Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) developed the Type 99 based on the Type 38 rifle but with a caliber of 7.7mm. The Type 99 was produced at nine different arsenals. Seven arsenals
were located in Japan, with the other two located at Mukden in Manchukuo and Jinsen in Korea.
The IJA had intended to completely replace the Type 38 with the Type 99 by the end of the war. However, the outbreak of the Pacific war never allowed the army to completely replace
the Type 38 and so the IJA used both rifles extensively during the war. As the war progressed, more and more cost saving steps were introduced in order to speed up production. Late
war rifles are often called "last ditch" or "substitute standard" due to their crudeness of finish. They are generally as crude as the 1945 dated Mauser K98k of Germany, or worse.
The Type 99 was produced in four versions, the regular issue Type 99 short rifle, the Type 99 long rifle (a limited production variant), the take-down Type 2 paratroop rifle, and the
Type 99 sniper rifle. The standard rifle also came with a wire monopod and an anti-aircraft sighting device. The Type 99 was the first mass-produced infantry rifle to have a chrome
lined bore to ease cleaning. All of these features were abandoned by mid-war.

Jmf New Arrivals 61 A. This rifle is a very nice Type 99 Arisaka Rifle in 7.7mm. The action works great and it has a great bore! The receiver is marked 9 9 type and the mum has been only
lightly cancelled. The two piece stock is in very nice condition as well. The stock has a ding or two but no cracks or breaks. The long range sight is missing
the aircraft lead arms but otherwise complete. I find many later rifles missing these arms so I think at one point they left them off. There is also no dust
cover or monopod which is quite common as well. The sling swivels are present and in good condition. Cleaning rod is missing. This rifle was manufactured at
the Nagoya Arsenal which made rifles from 1923 to 1945. Serial number 5605. I believe this is a series 5 rifle. No import marks. Check out the pics! $495.00
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jmf New Arrivals 60 B. During World War II the Type 99 rifle was the standard long arm of the Japanese Imperial Army. However as the tides of war turned against Japan, Japanese industry found that it had to produce more and more rifles using less and
less resources. This involved several modifications to the Type 99 which simplified it. By the last year of the war Japan was manufacturing “last ditch rifles”, which were Type 99’s simplified so much that they were basically
reduced to nothing more than a working rifle. While they fired, the effectiveness and quality of such rifles was questionable.
This rifle is a nice 34th series "Last Ditch" type 99 rifle with the mum intact. This one still has a few refinements that are not on the last "Last Ditch" riflessuch as a bayonet lug and sling swivels. This one also has the dust
cover intact. The quality is a little lacking, but believe me, it gets much worse!! This rifle is in good condition but more crudely made than the earlier ones. You can see welds on the front barrel band and it has a wooden butt
plate plus no cleaning rod. The cocking knob is not knurled being blob welded on as well. Still a two piece dovetailed stock with a handguard and still rather nice. The rifle has a crude later rear block sight and a front wedge
blade sight. No long range sight on this series. This rifle was manfactured at Toyo Kogyo in Hiroshima. This rifle has Japanese characters on the stock but I do not know what they mean so if you do let me know and I will post it.
The action works well on this 7.7mm rifle and the bore/rifling is good. All in all a good example of a last attempt to continue war. $695.00
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jmf New Arrivals 59 C. This Arisaka Type 99 7.7mm rifle is an import from C.A.I. (Central Arms International) out of Vermont. This is one that was imported from China sometime after the war. It's rare to find a Japanese Arisaka with import markings
on it as most were destroyed after the war except for G.I.Bringbacks but the U.S. Government furnished Japanese Arisaka's to the Chinese after the war. This one has seen hard use but is still mostly intact and has the Mum intact as
well! This rifle is from the Nagoya Arsenal (1923-1945). The rifle is in generally good condition with good markings. The stock is in good "dinged" condition having been used considerably and the bore is quite serviceable. This
rifle has the cleaning rod. It is missing the front barrel sling but has the rear sling. The rear sight is the long range sight without the aircraft leading "wings", never had them. The front sight is the typical protected sight.
THe action works well. Nice old Arisaka and lucky to be here since it went to China after the War !!! Check out the pics!!! $495.00
