It is a sporterized Type-38 carbine . An early Koishikawa , with a pulled from service stamp . It could have been part of the group that went to Englandicon in the WWI time frame , or to Finlandicon . It was made with a mum , it just has been ground off . Other than a nice sporter , it is nothing special . If it is in 7mm it could have been a Mexican that went to Russiaicon . How , or if , it ended up in Germanyicon is anyone's guess .

Also I do not see any Pre WWII English or German firing proofs on it , they would have been required in either country .
