Guys, Just had a buddy's father bring down a Japanese Type 92 machine gun to show me. (demilled of course.) All Maker marked receiver cover and under the ammo drum. My question is what would one put as a value on such a piece of History? It looks like it was attached to the back of an aircraft and the only thing missing is the top parts of the two sights. thank you for your interest.

Cheers,

Joel

Send me some pictures and I'll post them for you. I've seen various dewats go for $200-$2000 depending what the item and whether they were registered dewats. Trey

I didn't pay to much for that old Arisaka, I just bought it a little bit too soon!

Guys, havent forgot to supply pictures. Still trying to get my customer to bring it down again. Not the easiest thing to do. It looks as though it was mounted in the back of a plane. It 's missing the screw in sights and it seems to have been connected to a bracket of some sort. Looks just like the Lewis gun and the original leather handle in the back is for one hand with the other hand on a conventional looking trigger. Sorry to delay but will get photos as sson as I can.

Cheers,

Joel
