should this be my first arisaka?
I am not that familiar with the rifles of the rising sun. But I was offer this rifle for 425.00 is this a good price and what is the problem with the mum? The only serial number was on the reciever none on the rest of the parts? What do the experts think?

It is maybe worth $200.00. It is a last ditch with the Imperial Mum defaced. There is nothing special or significant about this rifle. The last one I picked up this year is in as new condition sans the mum being defaced and I paid $160.00 for it. I do have to admit I've not seen a mum stamped in the wood though.

I think the price is pretty steep as well based on ones I have seen locally.

No expert but.........
It looks like someone got a stamp for the mum. Attempted to re-stamp a ground mum at least twice, didn't have good success so they stamped the refinished stock instead.
Price way to high in any case.

I think you are all correct it is priced high, kinda bubba with the mum stamps. It is a shame because it has a rare thick but plate.

Wierd place for a mum! So, do you think it's a test piece for a faker or what? Considering the way most mums were defaced, it hardly seems a worthwhile bit of fakery. Too much work cleaning up the receiver ring to apply the new one it seems to me.

I don't know. How much work is $200 worth or even $100.
Could be a project for a certain company when the German K98
SS rune rifles run out.

So how much does a stamp cost? And how many rifles can you mark in a day with it?
