ADVICE which one: Japanese military bolt-action service rifle

[henry r]

do you plan to shoot them? if yes, do you want to deal with 1 or 2 more cartridges?

if you don't plan to shoot them or don't mind different cartridges, try a Type 99.

for desirability, to me, the type 99 would go type 99 sniper (I'll take a externally adjustable 4 power nagoya thanks), a paratrooper, type 99 long rifle, early type 99 short rifle with aircraft sights and monopod and so on.
a decent early matched type 99 short rifle with chrysanthinum, dust cover, monopod and aircraft sights would be a nice mediun of desirable/collectable yet not ridiculously expensive or stupidly hard to find.

I'm sure others with more knowledge will be along soon.
