Type 99 Arisaka Vet Bring Backs

[gunbuff58]

I have a friend who served in the Pacific during WWII and he sent home three (3) Arisaka Type 99 rifles plus two swords and a bayonet. A few months back he stopped at my home on his way to Florida for the winter and gave the rifles and bayonet to me. They were still in the boxes that he sent them home in. They were in his basement where he lived and were a challenge to clean up. I have some before and after pics. I have more pics but will not post unless you all are interested. I can also give the story behind them. I was chatting with him last night (I am in Florida for the winter also) and he told me a few more things about his experiences. What a super deal for a mil surp collector.

The bayonet cleaned up like new also. The last two pics are the after clean up and I put them back in the original boxes for pics.
Here are the arsenals
