Over the summer, my uncle gave me his Type 38 Arisaka. I have no intention to sell it, but would like to know how valuable it is. The Mum is defaced, but it has all matching serial numbers and no import markings, as it was a bring back. Its got a dark bore, but there is zero pitting and almost perfect rifling. Besides the Mum area, it has 99% blueing. And theres no front sight. The base is still there, but the post was drifted off the dovetail. The stock is in fair shape, minor dings here and there, with one large gauge in the left side by the receiver. Ill work on posting some pictures.
