Need help with Military rifle ID - WW2 Japanese

[RickN]

Well I will try to list what Japanese long guns I still have. Type 30 hook safety long rifle ( of course). Type 38 carbine , I call this a battlefield pick up, has intact mum , action cover and repro cleaning rod , bore is very good , I believe these were chrome lined ? A training rifle based on a M-1888 commission rifle , then a Type I , two barreled actions , one in Japanese 6.5mm and the other in 257 Roberts , with one set of woods , all done right. Two Type 30 bayonets , and then a as new Miroku 38 special revolver , type used by Japanese police from the 60's to the 80's.

Nice!

That’s a cool rifle to have with a lot of history.
The Japanese made some good stuff during the war.

So the "Chrysanthemum" has actually been defaced as required. That larger circle was stamped by the team that was assigned the task. I have a type 38 with the same ping mark on it. I have also seen large cross X pinged on the Mum as well. Not a perfect Mum but still better than a big grinding mark on it.

Nice find!
