pacrat Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Riceone and other Japanese knowlegable members. Did all Japanese military rifles originally have a Mum? Even the ones originally made as trainers etc. Or were some de-mumed by the Japanese when they were relegated to trainer and school status?

Clemson Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Good question. I don't think trainers had mums, but maybe Riceone will see this and chime in. Clemson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11echo Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I agree, trainers did not have a Mum, and even rifles that were passed down to school had the Mum stuck off or over stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riceone Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Looks like I am a year late. Some left the factory with a concentric circle stamp and some with elongated "M" stamped in place of the mum. I have seen evidence that some were ground and these two stamps added. There also could be some with school markings as 11echo said. I have not been on the boards much this past year, Hope to do better this year.If any of you live in driving range of Cleveland, MS I will hold my seventh annual SEMCA collectors meeting here at my farm shop at the south edge of town. Cleveland is two hours south of Memphis, TN on US Highway61,You are all welcome, bring a display with you. Its a small show but we usually have 16 or so tables full of WW11 stuff to look at. There will be collectors from all the states around. Dates are Friday and Saturday February 1st and 2nd, little over two weeks from now.
