As Bob noted, the one you had looked like a Type 38 rear, but the front end and stock are not correct for the 38 Carbine. It is not a 44 or a 99 either. That is why I called it a short rifle.
Just a wannabe weapons man here.
I have burned enough of the TS's bandwidth with my weapons photos for now, some of the other guys need to step up. Pete, very nice collection, thanks for sharing. Yours too Hollis.
