Kind of stumbled into this one but I am glad I did, all numbers matching and original except for the butt plate and the reproduction Monopod.
Now to find a nice Kokura 2.5x scope for it.

Very crisp. Surprising given it's character.

Damn that's a clean one, nice catch on it.

Nice one MT, I don't see any import stamps. The cuts across the mum indicate that it was done by the soldier it was issued to so nobody else would deface it and cause shame on the emperor.

Thanks gentlemen, nope , no import marks, the original butt plate was all rusty from sitting on its end on carpet in a closet for god knows how many years so the previous owner replaced it. ( wish he had kept it though) Scopes are available but Kokura issued scopes are harder to find than Nagoya issued scopes.

What do the scopes run typically?

They start around $1,200.00 and go up from there depnding on condition, ascessories, and Mfg. I figure a very nice Kokura issued scope with the scope case will be around 2K for a common Mfg.

WOW, I figured high, but didn't go high enough apparently. Good luck in finding one.

Wow that's a nice clean one! Congratulations!

Timing is everything they say , and good timing and a little bit of luck has paid off for me. I found my Kokura scope this past weekend, ( only 119 off my s/n) complete with carrying case, lense brush, lense rag, and original Japanese information sheet. Now to get a new rubber eye cup and I am in business.

Niiiiiice. They really made a half-hearted strike on the mum. Defeatism.....;)

Time for you to buy a lottery ticket, you are on a roll!

I can thank the rain for that, as long as the river is up there will be no boating.

Very nice. I didn't think you would leave that one scopeless for long.

Thanks gentlemen, collecting these old sniper rifles has really added a spark to my collection. ( and a dent in my boating fund )
