Hi Carl, coming from the UK I'm familiar with the Jap models your talking about, (only thing I could get as a kid !).

I'm pretty sure that this isn't one. The pot metal used for the replicas wouldn't plate to well, I don't think it would engrave that cleanly and certainly doesnt polish up like all the bright metal pictured, (take down, sear, safety etc.)

I think this is based on a real piece, might be a parts gun ? Or is it a much higher quality replica ?

The foam box certainly looks like it held a Jap replica pistol though !
