Well I hit a gunshow today and couldn't track down any parts, however I did find a "C No.7" there...But it didn't quite add up. I figured I wouldn't start a new thread and I would just post here.



First off it had the "Type one" marking but was dated 1945, not really sure if there was a transitional period or not.



Second, It wasn't in the correct serial range for a 1945 according to the article here. To add to that, the serial looks rather haphazardly applied.

It didn't sting to much passing on this one.
