More opinions please

Here are an additional three 99s I have. Any information would be much appreciated. The first picture is four of the six I have. The second one down from the top is all matching. It has the adjustable flip up rear sight but a last ditch looking bolt. And I thought Enfields were addicting! ;) TIA

Nice rifles. From your other thread, I believe you wanted to know the series and arsenals. It can be hard to tell the series sometimes without a good look at the series mark, to the left of the serial number on the receiver. My best guesses are:

The second picture, first close up: Nagoya arsenal, cant tell what the series is, but looking at the production figures, a Nagoya, with that serial number, would have to be a series 1-11. Maybe series 7?

The third picture, second close up: Looks like a series 21, Kokura arsenal. That falls within the production figure range of 20-25 for that arsenal and number.

Last picture: Nagoya arsenal, maybe a series 6.

I always use this site: http://www.radix.net/~bbrown/japanese_markings.html
It has arsenal and series marks and more. It may be easier for you to compare your rifle, which you can look at in person, to the series markings on that site than it is for us to look at the pictures which sometimes don't show up clearly.

I agree with all those readings, including the first one as a No. 7 series.

First is a 7 as already stated. Second is a 21 and third is a 6.
