Need Help, Jap Nambu T14

soko121 · 01-10-2013, 08:36 PM

if it helps, i do have a 1918 DWM also.....but in this case i need guidance on the Nambu. Does anyone know a Nambu forum or "expert" i can contact. my new T14 looks rather Gawdy, it was plated at the end of WWII, but it is a reasonably scarce model so i am trying to find someone to quote bluing it. At this point i figure it cant hurt the value long term. its a keeper to go to the kids one day.

hello Simon

How about saying Japanese instead of Jap when you visit the Banzai forum.

But unsure what you want them to tell you ?

It is a 1932 made in May (1925+7)

Its nickle or chrome kills the value, so if you have it stripped and restored, it will cost around $400-$600 - more than it is worth now.

I would have to look it up to see if it is unsure if it is uncommon or rare (how many T14's were made that yr

Ed,
my aplogies for phraseology, I will change that. Thanks for the reply, i will look up the Banzai forum and see what i can find on it. It is scarce in that its a Chigusa Arsenal and they stopped production in 1932 after only 7800 pieces.
