    I would like to know what Model Rifle theseWWII Jap Dust Covers fit.

    Are they worth anything?

    Need pictures of the rear lip to help. Also, put a tape measure to them and find the exact length. It’ll help determine if they’re repro or not.

    WTK: Jap Dust Covers

    These are for a Type 38 rifle. Based on their condition, these look like these came off of training rifles…service rifles would have arsenal stamps and last three of the serial number. Value is around $75-$100.

    If they’re even a hair over 6”, they could be repro covers, around $40-$50.

    Hope this helps.

    It looks like they are 6 1/8" long.

    Do you think $100.00 for both would be a fair price?

    Depends on who’s paying! Haha!

    $100 for both is about the going price.

    Thank You!

    Asking price and selling price are usually different.
