Can you help identify bolt? Maybe Jap

[ww1917]

So I acquired a Arisaka Type 38 from an estate and included was a bolt in a pillow case. It seems to have a Jap stamp on the rear of the bolt as well as a (SD) stamp at the base of the bolt.

Is this something one can put to a rifle?

Can you show us some pics? That would help...

Wasn't able to edit my first post so I'll add pictures here.

Don't think that's Japanese...I think it's a Carcano rifle bolt. https://www.libertytreecollectors.co...?idproduct=718

And a K 98 safety...

I see. Thanks. I see there mainly straight bolt though.Bent is carbine. Interesting.

There was the so-called Type "I" rifle purchased by Japan. Basically a Carcano rifle with Mauser type magazine in 6.5 Japanese service caliber. Don't know about bolt handle configurations.

That is a carcano bolt. Type I bolts were straight.
