Sharing a Type 38

[Singer B]

Since things have been pretty slow here, I thought I would share my recently acquired Type 38 rifle. A couple of questions I had were is it a Koishikawa or a Kokura arsenal rifle? I know they are one in the same but under which company name was this rifle built? It also has 3 interesting "notches"on the butt stock. I guess the question is who put them there and why? Of the 16 listed serial number locations, 14 of them match (non matching parts are the cocking piece and and magazine floor plate). The rifle shoots great with a very smooth action. Thanks!
