I have learned quite a bit about my new T38 but am stumped on a few things.
Thought I would post and see if someone could fill in some holes in my knowledge.Here is what I have
Vet bring back type 38 with mum, dust ,cover and original sling. Nice bluing and solid wood.
Kokura arsenel
No series mark before serial number
Serial # seven digits? (does not seem to match the production figures I have seen)
2 small marks after the serial number (symbol marked as unk.on t38 data sheet found online)
bolt ,firing pin,saftey knob #838
bolt latch assy.,bayonet lug,sight adjuster #146 and appear to have 24 series marking
Is this considered a "matching rifle"
Any ideas on production date,high digit count on the sn or lack of series markings before the sn?
Not even curious about value. I will check the headspace buy some ammo and take some kids to the range for hands on history.
