I have a type 44 that got the grinder treatment and most that I've seen were with a grinder although I have seen a few that were nothing more than a chisel marking on the mum to deface it.

I have never read of overseas sales of any of the defaced mum (or CC rifles) myself.

I know of at least a few type 30s that were sold to great britain and there are some confirmed cases of finnish type 38s that were all concentric circle rifles so I know some were sold.

as for removed from service, is this a removed from service for use with another organization or was this post war removed from service for surrender?
