Product Information

An extremely rare Second World War, Japanese, Arisaka Type 2 "Paratrooper" rifle. This rifle is a take-down version of the Type 99 Arisaka rifle but instead can be split in two. The idea was to make it easier to carry whilst parachuting. Once the paratrooper had landed the rifle could be quickly assembled. This example is a very early one, the serial number 3301 is one of only around 21,200 known to have been produced. The Imperial chrysanthemum is untouch unlike many that were defaced before capture. The rifle is all matching numbers. Please note that the rifles serial number (3301) bears no relivance to the numbers on all other parts (121). This is how serialisation was done on Arisaka rifles. Very few now survive and those that do are most commonly found state side as G.I. bring backs. Deactivated with a working action it can be cocked and dry fired. It is partially strippable.
