wow, with the rare stock too....

In Manchuria, this type of gun was called "Japanese Box". Originally, I thought that's very weird name, "Where is the box? The leather holster.... you mean?"

Obviously, the wood box was not a rare item in the past -- people saw lots of them and coined the nick name. But somehow it's super rare now.

The text description came out. Reblued piece. Nowadays, isn't it good timing to sell these.... whew.

Nambu guns.
I can remember when these guns where about $75.00 at the gun shows here in CA,with the holster! I guess I am dating

myself.

Although not many Nambu pistols were made (roughly 1/10 of Parabellums ?), every C&R shop carries a few. Most Nambu pistols are in the U.S

Grandpa is rare. Papa and Baby are uncommon. What common are Type 14 and Type 94. I would assume $75 for Type 14 rig in 1970s?

This rig is rare enough. Even in refurbished form, it went $18,400.

Nambu..... for recording purpose. Copied from JJA.
