    Unusual Type 99 Safety

    I have a Nagoya Type 99 First Series serial number 23011 with a safety unlike any I've seen before:



    The unusual one (right) compared to one from a Nagoya Type 99 no series (left). They are interchangeable and function flawlessly. Has anyone encountered something like this before? Any insights?

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Was it modified by someone with a triangle file? Just by hand like?

    Have not seen a Type 99 safety cut like that. Nor a Type 38. Serial number on front post?

    Years ago I had one that was crudely done like this. It looked to have the original finish so I just figured it was done when built.

    Three digit number on safety post is 331, with flat-top 3's and the 1 laying on its side rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise. The sides of the safety do retain some finish.
