It's serial number is 79275. To the left of the serial number is the series number 33 and to the right is the Toyo Kogyo symbols. On two places on the bolt are the numbers 284. If the bayonet lug is the thin pole under the barrel then it has it. But it has like an access area for the internal magazine in front of the trigger.

If you can see that it has been ground off, I'm sure you have an original. The
flower was ground off for not to disrespect the god's. Okay now...is a type 39 or type 99 ? 39's are 6.5 and the 99's are 7.7 jap...and very pricey ammo.

Also, the rifle was supplied with anti-aircraft rear sights, meaning the sight
had little metal arms that you would pull out...as in one to the left and one to the right. You can also search Google Images for comparison reasons.

The front sight post only has the one small post to aim with, no posts to the left or right of it.

A lot of the model 99's had little arms that would fold out to the side after
lifting the rear sight.

Someone may have removed it after finding out that it snags inside
of rifle cases. Start watching for ammo, but you can always load your own too, (PRICEY).

In my opinion, that rifle was refinished and the front and rear sight
were replaced. Also, someone had bead blasted all the metal parts. All in all, it's a very nice job.

I looked at the sight pictures again with out my grandson using Youtube, the
sights are original...just that the rear sight had the wing guides removed.

Photos would answer a ton of questions. Using Photobucket to post photos is simple.
