Description:

Very late production example with the Kokura Arsenal and Type 10 markings on the left side of the frame. It is estimated that a total of 8,000 Type 10 flare pistols were produced making this a very late model. Grooved grips with a lanyard ring on the butt. With a very rare unmarked leather Type 10 flare pistol holster. The front of the holster has a pouch for a takedown tool and the back has a belt loop and two "D" type carrying rings.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The pistol retains 95% original blue finish with some minor thinning. There is some light spotting and some minor pitting mostly on the barrel. The grips are very fine with some scattered minor dings. The holster is fine with some minor residue on the body and some minor handling marks. The stitching is tight.
