The Japanese Garand

[Bob Seijas]

The quantity made is in dispute but the Type 5 is well known. There are several in collector hands, maybe as many as a dozen. I chased them for years... I wanted to pay $800 when they were $1,000 -- then when I was willing to go the thousand they were $1,500 and on up from there. I never got one, now they bring something like $20K
