For the life of me, I cannot figure out the manufacture dates on Japanese rifles. Their serial numbers completely baffle me.
My wife bought me this Nagoya Arisakaicon Type 99 for my birthday several years ago and I have done some internet research on the rifle. Then it sat in the safe for years but now I am curious to know the date of manufacture. I tried to look up the reference material on this website but everything is no longer available.
Hopefully, if I show some pictures maybe some of you kind gentleman could help with a date of manufacture.
Sorry about the crappy pictures. I don't like using white as a background but the lighting in my house really sucks.
