Like I didn't already do that you fuck face. /k/ used to be a good place for real time info and pricing. Guess not any more.

>>35069593
Why did they try and remove it?

>>35069624

>pricing based on a few pictures of the outside
>not showing the bore condition, telling us how it performs, smoothness of the bolt being worked, etc

We are not mind readers.

>>35069636

>doesn't even have basic knowledge of arisakas

Go Google it first and then come back.

>>35069655
No, I don't which is why I came here. If you don't want to participate in a gun discussion thread you can kindly go fuck off.

>>35069697

We're not here to spoon-feed you, and we can't make a reasonable price estimate without knowing all the details (which you haven't provided).

>>35069729
Ok, fair enough. I believe the arisaka to be a 7.7 but have no idea what model of arisaka it is. How about one bit of info that you can determine from the photos that might help me in my google?

>>35069528
Pistol is around $300
Rifle is around $100-150

>>35069528

Have the original paperwork? If so, add several hundred and sell as a lot if both pieces are on the paperwork. If not, well, it's just a story and no way to prove these were bringbacks instead of some old fart buying these at a gunshow 20-30 years ago because he was a Pacific War veteran and wanted display pieces.

If it's a regular "estate sale", you're not going to get top dollar. I get guns all the time at such sales (and yard sales too) and never pay full value, because these aren't formal places of business. I'd say price the Arisaka for $100-150 and the pistol for $200-250. They're worth more, but you have to find a price point in which the items will actually sell.

>>35069778
Lol thats awfully low for the nambu. He could sell that thing for $500 if he really wanted

>>35070184

In a retail setting, maybe, eventually, but not at a fucking estate sale.

Ya, so no paperwork and its just that , an old fart saying that they were brought back. However its the family of the old fart and he was the one who brought them back. I know that means nothing without proper documents but I'm inclined to believe they are authentic.

And I thought the same , and we'll probably price it there or even higher to get that. In its original case.

I don't know dick about Jap guns, but if the rifle is in 7.7 Jap, then it's a Type 99. The chrysanthemums were basically Imperial property marks and were often removed at the end of the war by both American and Japanese soldiers, IIRC. The classic story is that the Japanese removed them to prevent Imperial property falling into enemy hands, but I've heard that American troops removed them when capturing stockpiles as well. I daresay some other anon will be along to give the real story.

Pic related would suggest the Arisaka was made by the Tokyo Juki Kogyo arsenal in 1942 or 1943.

Thanks for the great info! Just got back from reading many many stories that are basically summed up in that post, they were defaced by both sides from what I gather.
It seems to be a shorter variant of the 99 , unless the 99 is the short varient.

No problem, just trying to help a /k/omrade out.

The Type 99 was produced in both long and short versions. The shorter Type 99 is the most common variant. Not very many (~38,000) long rifles were made and they're worth quite a bit today.

Type 99 value is based partly on whether they have all the extra bits (monopod, anti-aircraft sights, dust cover). Yours doesn't have the dust cover or monopod, and I can't quite tell if it's got the AA sights, but it looks like it might. Another important factor for valuation is whether the bolt matches the receiver. A lot of bring-back rifles have mismatched bolts because the bolts were removed from the guns and stored separately on the trip back to the US. When they got home, they just grabbed a bolt out of the box without checking for serial numbers.
