I have what might be an interesting one for collectors of Japanese rifles. A relative of mine owns this gun and today I was able to take a good look at it and get some pictures. It is clearly an Arisaka of some kind and I know the veteran who brought it back from the Pacific. What is strange about it is the turned down bolt handle and the anchor where I would expect to find a mum or the remnants of a mum. Could it be a navy gun? I haven't been able to find any info on arisakas marked with anchors. I don't know a whole lot about the Japanese guns so I would appreciate any info you might have. (In case you can't tell, I obscured the last digit of the serial number, it isn't a 3 digit gun).
