I found this in my grandfather's basement after he passed away. I have not had time to clean it up right, just clean the bolt, barrel, and bolt assembly.

Arisaka Type 38...... story behind it, from my grandmother is that my grandfather's brother picked it up and brought it back as a "souvenir." He used it to hunt deer in South Alabama. My grandfather got it when his brother passed away and its been in his basement hiding behind junk for 40 years. We found it after cleaning the basement up for my grandmother.

The markings are all on the weapon, along with the "mum."
