Here is my display (award winning!) from the CASC show this weekend.
Type 2 Rifles, Bayonets, and Combat knife with other accessories.

Judge's Choice
My Display, sort of a Quasi Japanese Paratrooper themed display.

Trey, very nice display! I was told years ago that the very late type 2's had spoke shaved/chatter stocks. Have you heard this or ever seen one?

Jareth, thanks. I haven't seen one with spoke shave (Nagoya) like that, but I think the highest I've seen was about 17 or 18k. Trey

I just reread my post, the (award winning) is not bragging, it was a Shocked surprise! This show doesn't usually give out display awards, so we are normally out all of the expenses of setting up. There is free parking and coffee Wink though! Trey

Jareth, I have seen a couple of these "spoke shave" T-2 stocks over the years. I have one, #13908, mummed, matching with cover and staked screws. The other one I remember seeing was in the 18k range.

Do you plan on being at the Allentown show in Oct. I am hoping to be there. Will probably be a last minute decision.

Trey, Very nice display as usual.
