[QUOTE="RyanSixer, post: 3256227, member: 26057"] You happen to be an expert on these? I’ve done a bit of research tonight and it seems the auction didn’t do any! Could use your insight if so. I’m measuring it to have about a 24” barrel, but Type 38s are supposed to have a 30” or 19.5” as a carbine. My research also points to this being produced in Tokyo around 1918. For the record, the auctioneers also called my Springfield a Model 1894, but I think it’s actually a Model 1892 produced in 1894 that has been sporterized. They also gave my Remington the date code for May 1952 but listed it as 1940s production, when the real date code shows March 1951. Quite off-putting that they didn’t conduct any research on these items people pay good money for online, trusting them to give accurate descriptions. [/QUOTE]
