Well i made a trip to the gun shop and
it resulted in me putting 100 down on the nambu

It ain't original been nickled and grips replaced. But mechanically it's excellent!!

made in nov 1943 at nagoya according to marks

I did some dickering and we settled on what seemed a fair price to us both

Someone took care of this weapon it wasn't thrown in a corner or a closet somewhere although the nickle is patchy
Makes me curious. Once i get it in my hands i am gonna do a little digging.

ammo is avaliable. brass can be got from grafs or formed from 40 S&W (from what i read)

Brass forming should be easy

I would have grabbed that one, too. I've always wanted to mess around shooting one. SW

I had one of those pimped Lugers... pink lucite grips - nickel plated trigger & side plate. Shot just fine... wish I hadn't sold it. SW

ive encountered some bring-back bayonets that were plated to make them more trophy-like [and no they were not done for parade use]

That's a nice looking pistol. You don't have to worry about scratching the blue. :D Ammo is avaliable from several places. I have a friend in Pheonix that sells it if you can't find any, let me know. I'm not a pistol shooter but the point and shoot well. Trigger is smooth a soft. riceone.

You can get ammo from a gent by the name of Mr. Nambu. He sells it on most of the gun auction sites.
