My cousin landed on the first wave at Iwo Jima and spent thirty one days there, after leaving Iwo Jima they were sent to Japanicon. He sent back two Type 99 rifles, one for my father and one for my uncle. I have these rifles now and have fired them using 7,7 Norma factory ammo.

My question, my uncle's Type 99 has the mum ground off but my fathers still has what appears to be a faint mum without any sign of being ground ? receiver is still round on top.
Could this have been missed or was there an attempt to remove the mum ?Attachment 120287Attachment 120288Attachment 120289Attachment 120290Attachment 120291
