Japanese Type 14 Nambu Pistol with Leather Holster – 8mm Nambu

This is an original Japanese Type 14 Nambu pistol, chambered in 8mm Nambu. The Type 14 was the standard sidearm of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II and is one of the most recognized Japanese military handguns. Its unique design, long slender barrel, and wooden grooved grips make it a standout collectible.

The example shown here retains much of its original finish with honest wear consistent with military use. The wooden grips show handling wear but remain solid, and the metalwork exhibits a combination of blueing and patina. The pistol comes complete with its original leather clamshell holster, which shows age and field wear but adds significant historical value to the set.

For collectors of WWII militaria or enthusiasts of Japanese military history, this Type 14 Nambu represents an authentic piece of wartime heritage. Whether displayed as part of a historical collection or carefully preserved, it is an iconic sidearm with a distinctive place in history.
