Siamese Arisaka, Type 38? 6.5 by 50mm Bent bolt

[chubfisherman]

Again, Another post....I copied this from another site I posted it on . So far I've found this most out from this site....but I'm looking for more info, still.

I have been searching online for a while in regards to a rifle I bought a few years ago and I have been coming up a bit short. I hoping someone here will be able to help me out, and could tell me the age, history, value(should I use it deer hunting or store it )and any other facts about this gun. I have seen many Jap 99's that are close but have seen no Siamese guns(Thia)anywhere out there for sale or much info on this gun.
What I do know,or think I know...is that this is a Siamese Jap Type 38 that is used by Thia police. My gun has the Charka emblem and 1793 in Thia Numbering on the receiver, bolt, and stock. The stock is also one piece verses Jap 99's that were two piece used by the Japanese. The bolt is bent(manufactured that way). Also, The Siamese took a few thousand 35th year Arisakas but modified them to shoot 8mm or 8x51mm Mauser and carry the Sandscrit marking on them. Could my gun be a 35th year Arisaka? I don't know. If anyone out there can help me I would love to know more on this gun or who I should contact to find out. Check out the pictures below.

Not the Thai police, but the Thai army.

Yep it seems quite correct at least as the way they looked when imported and sold . There was only one offering I know of it was in the back page of the AR, seems like it was Oct or Nov of 69 ? There were 3 rifles, it [the 6.5] the Siamese 98, 8mm and a Enfield No4 mk1 with Thia crest. I've never seen the Thai Enfield, and only 2 of the 6.5 carbines. I own one. I've wondered were they made that way or modified/sportized by the Thias ?
