VARY RARE JAPENEESE TYPE 100/44 PARATROOPERS TAKE DOWN SUB MACHINE GUN #20. This extraordinary weapon was design for paratroops from the base model Type 100/44 SMG produced by the Japanese in World War II. This relic was fabricated from the original parts, brought back by a veteran of the war stationed in the Philippines. This cut up and decommissioned gem has been brought back to original non-firring statis, with a mocked up floating lug aluminum bolt and cocking lever that looks like the original for representation. I did not have internal parts to work with, so did the best I could from pictures of Standard Type 100/44 SMG. Serial number #20, not many made, all original removable parts are stamped #20 with Jap charters. The magazine is a reproduction that is for representation only, made and sold out of Asia, what a piece of miss fitting junk. Also, I will note that ammo for this is so rare it is almost non-exitance. Also note this took a special bayonet, shorter than most type 30 pigstickers.
Very cool replica.
