Thoughts on Nagoya Type 99 no series.

**Anzac15** · 06-15-2013 03:02 PM

Picked up a Nagoya Type 99, no series yesterday. Mum is partially ground, every number matches. Cleaning rod is present, and every screw on it is staked. It also sports the oval 'quick release' rear sling swivel. Information I am finding on these is that these were intended for cavalry before they started issuing 99s to everyone. Is this info correct? I ask, because this is the first one of these that I've ever seen. It's a very interesting rifle.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

My info says "quick release swivel for cavalry sling)

Yes, I believe they were initially intended for Cavalry and other trades who required a shorter rifle, while the Type 99 Long rifles were intended for infantry.
