**JAPANESE TYPE 100 SUBMACHINE GUN. (C&R)

**JAPANESE TYPE 100 SUBMACHINE GUN. (C&R). SN 4155. Cal. 8 mm Nambu. 9-1/2″ bbl. Manufactured by Nagoya. This Type 100 includes an orig mag and web sling. Markings at top of receiver translate to “100 Shiki”, meaning 100 Type. This is a later example which has a wooden buttplate and rather crude welding, particularly where the mag housing meets the receiver. Buttstock is in 2 pieces glued together, which is as they were made originally as wood was a scarce commodity in Japan. The simple rear peep sight was completely adequate. Numbers appear to be all matching. This weapon appears fully functional. The Japanese Type 100 Submachine Guns were not produced in large quantity. The 8mm Nambu cartridge was underpowered for it’s purpose, but nonetheless functioned the submachine gun effectively. Japan recognized too late that the submachine gun was very effective in the close quarters combat of the jungle. PROVENANCE: Collection of Carl “Bill” Morrison. Consignor states this gun was captured by Sgt. Winslow V. “Smudge” Grant of the 43rd Division at Baggio in the Philippines. Sgt. Grant bagged this gun after personally dispatching the Japanese who carried it. He later turned it over to Morrison, who registered it during the amnesty. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is extremely fine, as brought back. Wood has numerous gouges and handling marks but is completely serviceable. Sling, although somewhat soiled, is still in sound and serviceable condition. Mag appears to have been pinched together at the top and follower does not come all the way to the feed lips, however this should be able to be remedied by competent gunsmith. Bore is shiny with some frosting in the grooves. Bolt face is very fine, although bolt, receiver and feed ramp could use some cleaning. This would be a welcome addition to any Japanese machine gun collection. 4-48650 JWK7 (10,000-15,000)
