Nambu Typ 14, range report

I had a Nambu T14 and T94 in the past. T14 came with 5 rounds of original 8mm cartridges in the holster pouch. The copper case already grew green rust.

Both were interesting pistols. I showed T14 to a college classmate who visited me. He hold it in hand, thought a while, asked "it's a Japanese WWII pistol in movies, isn't it?" (he's not a gun person).

A few years ago, another high school classmate's family visited me. Saw a few NCO shin-guntos I collected at that time. "Wow, you got this??!!!!"... I told him, "if you like, take one, my gift". But he worried he could not pass custom inspection so he did not. A few years passed, visited me again this year, asked "where are those swords?" ... I told him "too late, all gone now".
