Product Overview and Introduction

Acquire the pinnacle of Imperial Japanese infantry weaponry with an Original WWII Japanese Arisaka Type 99 Rifle, dated to 1939 (early production) and featuring a completely intact Chrysanthemum imperial crest (“mum”), accompanied by an authentic Type 30 bayonet, metal scabbard, and leather frog. Adopted in 1939 to replace the older 6.5mm Type 38, the Type 99 fired the hard-hitting 7.7x58mm Arisaka cartridge and was engineered around one of the strongest bolt-action receiver designs of the Second World War.

This exceptional early-production specimen retains all the high-quality craftsmanship of pre-war and early wartime Japanese arsenals, including a chrome-lined bore, anti-aircraft leaf sights with folding lead-distance arms, a monopod attachment, and a matching numbered bolt. Most significantly, the Imperial Chrysanthemum seal on the receiver remains entirely unground—a rare survival, as most surviving Arisakas had their mums defaced upon surrender per Allied or Japanese directives. Paired with a matching original Type 30 bayonet, steel scabbard, and leather frog, this is an investment-grade complete infantry rig.

Historical Significance and Early Arisaka Engineering

As the primary battle rifle carried by the Imperial Japanese Army across China, the Pacific islands, and the defense of the homeland, this Type 99 carries immense historical weight and exceptional manufacturing pedigree:

• Intact Imperial Chrysanthemum Mum: Retains the crisp 16-petal chrysanthemum flower symbol on the receiver ring, signifying personal property of the Emperor and untouched by post-war defacement.

• 1939 Early-Production Superiority: Features high-end pre-war machining, beautiful wood grain, chrome-lined barrel, and complex auxiliary features (anti-aircraft sights and monopod provisions) omitted on later “last ditch” variants.

• Type 30 Bayonet Rig: Includes a full-length matching Type 30 bayonet with its original steel scabbard and leather belt frog, completing the standard infantry combat loadout.

• Renowned Bolt-Action Strength: Built on Paul Mauser’s conceptual influences adapted by Colonel Nariakira Arisaka, featuring a robust safety knob and gas-relief ports designed to handle extreme battlefield pressures.

The Ultimate Centerpiece for Advanced World War II and Pacific Theater Collections

When your historical exhibition, museum display, or advanced military collection demands an untouched imperial crest, early-production features, and complete bayonet rigging rather than scrubbed or late-war substitute rifles, the Original 1939 Arisaka Type 99 Rig stands out as an incomparable crown jewel.
