Nambu Type 14

[Phosphorus32]

Wow, is this a complicated pistol. It was dirty inside and out but I got it apart, cleaned and back together. Every numbered part matches (8 parts, iirc). These are interesting pistols and it's the first handgun in my Japanese collection.

Made at Chuo Kogyo under Nagoya Arsenal supervision, this is the second most common maker of the Type 14. It's chambered in 8x22mm Nambu, a fairly weak round.

I found the trench art ash tray at a local "antique shop" in the Tri-cities. It appears to be made from a (Type 90?) 75mm gun casing, originally manufactured at Nagoya Arsenal.

  Nice..  complicated.. yes..    almost makes you want to buy a high dollar box of boutique cartridges and fire it on principal.  The.... Type 26 isn't as complicated..

[Phosphorus32]

Nice, an April 1935 Kokura  Yeah the Type 26 revolver is a bit simpler. 

Forgot to mention that mine was made in December 1937.

Nice pistol, Jon.  And yours as well, GM.  Yeah, the ammo can be a bit of a problem, though.

Thanks! 

I have a couple boxes of 8x22mm somewhere that I acquired in a mixed lot some time ago…now to find it

Yes, matching mag, so sad 

I decided I needed one Nambu to go with my Arisakas. I mean one never led to more, right?

Those are famous last words P32!   I think I remember LC saying something like that after his first Nambu...
