Normal show in regards to things Nambu, little to none. One sorry Type-94 that someone had buffed in preparation of re-bluing and it is such a lazy job that they left the mag in the frame when buffing it. Bottom of a Type-IV mag buffed clean while the remainder was still blue.

Saw a very nice Type-99 1st series complete with monopod and mum. All matching except dust cover. Monopod has proper markings. Has a bullet or shrapnel damage to stock near buttplate and stock repair that appears to be a post war job. At one time had a metal tag of some sort nailed to stock which is gone. Also had some of the most complete bring back papers that I ever seen. Down side was it was for sell, gent brought it to me so I could get the data from it for ya Trey.

Actually a couple of nice swords all over priced in my book and then to cap off the show a great display of current Chinese manufacture of not only Japanese sword but also German dress swords you could have ever seen. Most likely unpacked from their shipping container just prior to show set up.

Also, had a member from the greater AGCA set up with a small table selling a few german items and fishing for swords. Had a good chat with him.
