Type 26 Revolver : Imperial Japanese Army

Model 26 double action, six shot revolver. The blued frame is stamped with the Kokura arsenal stamp, the model identification in Japanese characters and the serial number. The grips are wooden with horizontal ribs and there is a lanyard ring on the butt plate.

This type of pistol was virtually obsolete by the time of the Second World War but they were often issued to non commissioned officers of the Japanese Army.
