Used Japanese Type 99 Arisaka 7.7x58mm JAP Nagoya Arsenal

The Arisaka rifle is a World War II-era Japanese firearm notable for its role in the Imperial Japanese Army. Despite the passage of time and the rigors of combat, this rifle remains a significant historical artifact. This particular Arisaka has a partially ground-down Chrysanthemum crest, displaying the Emperor's ownership and the rifle's military origins. Though the crest has been defaced, it is still visible.

This Arisaka model is an example of the enduring craftsmanship of Japanese military rifles of the era. It shows signs of wear that speak volumes about its extensive use in the field. 

The defaced Chrysanthemum crest adds an intriguing layer to its narrative. American forces often modified this after Japan's surrender, symbolizing the end of its military use. This offers a tangible link to the final years of World War II.
