**JAPANESE NAGOYA MANUFACTURED TYPE 100 SUB MACHINE GUN DEWAT (C&R).SN 2227. 8 MM Nambu. 11-1/2″ bbl. Visible numbered parts appear matching with exception of 30-rnd magazine which is 653 with a 5 prefix. This type 100 has steel buttplate and simple 1-pc peep sight. Welding of magazine housing to receiver rather crude but completely functional. Bbl has been plugged at chamber by adding a lot of weld and welding the chamber to the receiver tube. Exterior of bbl shroud also welded on both sides just forward of chamber. It is clear that someone wanted to make sure this gun was not serviceable, however bolt does function smoothly when operated by hand. PROVENANCE: The class III weapons formerly on loan to Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is fair with about 15% finish remaining with heavy pitting on top of receiver tube and bbl shroud with mostly a brown patina of old corrosion. Stock has numerous handling marks and dings as well as some scratches but is still serviceable. Magazine has been filed on both sides near the top and rear, fitted to this magazine housing which it fits into snugly. Unable to determine condition of bore due to welding. Bolt face is very good. Fairly heavily deactivated in the chamber area but this gun would made a fine display piece in a WWII collection. 4-51801 JWK86 (12,000-16,000) – Lot 1082
