This is an original Japanese Type 14 Nambu semi-automatic pistol, manufactured by the Toriimatsu Branch of the Nagoya Arsenal during World War II. This specific example is a First Series production, as indicated by the serial number 70328 and the presence of the correct Nagoya Arsenal “circle-eight” symbol followed by the Japanese “i” (?) katakana series mark. These pistols were built in sequential five-digit serial blocks, and the First Series (formerly referred to as “Series A”) includes pistols numbered between 50,000 and 99,999. The date stamp on the right side reads Showa 18.4, meaning this pistol was produced in April 1943, the 18th year of Emperor Hirohito’s reign. Below the date is the small “na” (?) final inspection mark, also confirming Nagoya Arsenal production. The pistol retains its traditional features: blued finish, large striker spring assembly, fixed sights, and grooved wooden grips. It is accompanied by a leather holster, which appears period-correct. The Type 14 was the standard issue sidearm of the Imperial Japanese Army, and although officers were often required to purchase their own, the design saw extensive use across the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Pacific Theater of WWII. The Type 14 remains one of the most iconic firearms of the Japanese military. This particular pistol is a well-marked and historically dated example, offering strong collector value with clear links to wartime production timelines and arsenal systems. This firearm is consigned through Blackjack Guns of Cedar Park, Texas. All sales will be processed through their licensed FFL in compliance with federal regulations.
