Up Next We Have an Excellent Example of a Kokubunji WWII Japanese Type 14 Nambu Pistol With Date Code 16.2 Dating to February 1941. Mid Production, With Numbers Matching Magazine, Nagoya Arsenal Marked, Chambered in 8MM, Overall Appears in Great Condition, The full set of markings on the right side of a Kokubunji First Series pistol, Note that there are two symbols in front of the serial number: the Nagoya Arsenal logo, the company logo, The date below has the Showa symbol and the number 18.11, meaning the eleventh month of the 18th year of Hirohito?s reign, i.e. November, 1943. This series was produced with dates from Showa 16.10 (October, 1941) to Showa 19.8 (August, 1944). When the company?s ?original series? production reached serial number 99999, it began its ?First Series? production and added the First Series symbol, the first letter of the Japanese katakana ?alphabet?. This is the same symbol used for the First Series Toriimatsu guns described in an earlier section. The mark looks like an upside down letter y in a circle. These were the only Type 14s with three symbols in front of the serial number: the Nagoya Arsenal logo, the Nambu company logo and the First Series marker. Yes, it seems odd to us to call it the ?First Series? when they had a run of serial numbers before that, but think of first as meaning ?the first series that needed a series designation because we had used all the permissible serial numbers without one?
