    Value of last ditch Arisaka Toyo Kogyo Series 35

    Hello Everyone! I'm a new member and very impressed with all the knowledge available here. I found the site doing research on an old rifle my WWII vet uncle gave me many years ago that I stored in an attic all these years, but just found again. It probably needs a good cleaning. I never knew its very rich history until now. I'm hoping to find out how much it may be worth. Can any of you experts help? Thanks in advance and God Bless all the Vets -- Freedom isn't Free!

    Here's a description list with photos:

    Arisakaicon Type 99 (Toyo Kogyo) Series 35 rifle w/ Full Chrysanthemum a/k/a Last Ditch 7.7mm, 26” barrel.
    All rifle Serial Numbers (Early 1945) match on barrel, bolt, receiver and extractor.
    Bayonet type 30 w/ straight quillon & squared pommel w/ independent serial number from rifle (apparently, all had different numbers from rifles) with Howa Jyuko (under Nagoya supervision) Arsenal Marks. Blue steel blade is sharp.
    No Monopod, dust cover or anti aircraft sight came with this series.
    2 piece wood stock, front and rear sling swivels and issued bayonet. Nothing was added or changed.

    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.

    I'm sure it needs a good cleaning! It hasn't been fired, used or cleaned in 75 years.

    Not that one. The bayonet is very common, and the blade has been post war sharpened (look at the grind marks).
    The rifle is a nice representative of the 35th series. As far as value goes, value is based on condition, condition, condition.
