Gun Collectors Dream Auction #69 Weapons of War!
Lot 525:
Up Next We Have a Japanese Type 26 Nambu Revolver Chambered in 9X22R, No Arbor on Frame, Equipped With a Lanyard Ring, The Type 26 revolver design was completed in 1893 (Meiji 26), and the pistol was adopted in 1894. The date of actual production inception at the Tokyo Arsenal is unknown. Some Type 26s may have been produced prior to 1896 when the Tokyo Arsenal symbol was adopted, but, there is no proof of that supposition. It is thought that the period of Standard Production ceased soon after 1923 as a result of earthquake damage to the Tokyo Arsenal. Sometime between 1925 and 1935, a small number of additional Type 26s were produced using left-over parts. A total of over 59,200 serialized Type 26s were produced (high observed: 59,227). Overall Appears Nice.
