Arisaka Type 99 rifle.

This Arisaka rifle is probably the finest available in the UK today. Unlike most, it still features the Emperors royal "Chrysanthemum" motif on the receiver signifying a battle field pick up or surrender. The 7.7mm Arisaka featured one of the finest actions of its day and had several unusual features including an optimistic aircraft sight ( extant) and bolt dust cover (extant). This is an earlier rifle and as a consequence does not have any of the economies encountered with later models. Excellent woodwork and good shooting bore and a recent UK proof.
