Two Type 99 rifles

[RCS]

My cousin was drafted into the US Marines not long after high school graduation in June 1944. He trained at the Parker range in Hawaii and landed on Iwo Jima on the first day.
He spent 31 days on Iwo Jima (5th Marines) and later was sent to Nagasaki. While at Nagasaki he had the chance to select two Japanese rifles to be sent home. He sent these rifles to my father (one for my uncle) and they have been in our family since . My Uncle died in 1974 and both rifles have been together, I did shoot both rifles with Norma 7,7 jap and both worked with any problems.

Can someone provide any data as what year that were manufactured and any other information ? thanks RobertAttachment 87899Attachment 87900Attachment 87901Attachment 87902Attachment 87903
