Description:
World War II TOKYO JUKI KOGYO Type 99 7.7mm Japanese “LAST DITCH” Rifle C&R

SCARCE Primary Infantry Weapon w/BAYONET & SCABBARD

Here we present a Japanese Tokyo Juki Kogyo Type 99 “Last Ditch” Arisaka Military Rifle manufactured circa 1945 by Tokyo Juki Kogyo (Tokyo Heavy Machinery Manufacturing Corporation) which was a commercial firm that was subcontracted out by the Kokura arsenal. Overall, Tokyo Juki Kogyo didn't make a large number of these during the war with roughly 96,000 total manufactured (56,000 in series 37 and 40,000 in series 27). With so few made it means that TJK rifles are very uncommon to run across. Interestingly, Tokyo Juki Kogyo is also still in business today under the name Juki and makes sewing machines.

The Type 99 was one of the standard bolt-action combat rifles to be used by the Japanese Empire during World War II. At the start of its production, it proved a reliable and robust rifle. But, the closing noose of the Pacific Theater soon brought about dramatic changes in its production methods, often leading to a subclass weapon. The Type 99 had several variants that included the Short Rifle, Long Rifle, an airborne variant and a dedicated sniper model. Production lasted from 1939 into 1945 before ending with Japan's surrender.

As Japanese surrender became all the more imminent, many Army rifles bearing the Imperial Chrysanthemum marking of the Emperor had this emblem grounded down in 1945 to spare the Emperor the embarrassment of surrender. Many surviving rifles are often found with this particular condition, especially late-war/late-model production versions.

The overall condition is good. Strong action. Bright bore. This example contains average wear and the stock remains solid throughout. Legible markings. Mixed numbers. The mum is ground. Missing a cleaning rod. Both the bayonet and scabbard are in good shape.
