WWII JAPANESE ARMY ARISAKA RIFLE
The Arisaka rifle was the standard weapon for the Imperial Japanese Army.
Arisaka Rifle is a family of Japanese military bolt-action rifles, in production from approximately 1898 until the end of
World War II in 1945. The most common specimens include the Type 38 rifle chambered in the 6.5x50mm Arisaka cartridge, and
the Type 99 rifle chambered in the 7.7x58mm Japanese cartridge. Many thousands of Type 99s were brought to the United States
by GIs during and after World War II.
The Mum is the flower pattern displayed at the top of the rifle. This symbol was often removed by the Japanese soldiers
upon surrendering. It is harder to find the intact samples.
