Type 26 & holster

Dave, the type 26 was considered for all troops, then was replaced by the Nambu's.
It looks nice, if you are considering trading or selling, keep me in mind. Value, I think $400-$600, although they are 'rarer" than T14 nambu's or T94's (I have one of each), thye are not worth as much I believe, mainly because they have an obsolete cartridge.

type 26 was the first offical handgun made for the Japanese army, cartrideges are far rarer than the guns themselves.

Around 60,000 were made in the late 1880's. I am sure they were used in both wars, but it was not a primary weapon for many years, the Type 14 and then the Type 94 were the replacements.
