FSO Early Japanese Arisaka Type 44 Calvary Carbine. *Pensacola.

[wareagle50]

For sale only is a rare early Series 1 Japanese Arisaka type 44 calvary carbine. This rifle has beautiful patina and does has the "MUM" ground off. I do not know much about these rifles, helping sell for a friend dad. The stock does have a crack that runs from the back of the trigger guard to the back of the tang behind the bolt.. Great piece of history, and not many come up for sale.

So why do they remove the mums on these?

From what I've researched "I believe the Japanese government wanted the mum ground off rifles that were being surrendered, as the mum was the representation of the Emporer. You'll find lots of Arisakas with the mum ground off - those would be rifles that the Japanese handed over to the Allies.
You'll also find Arisakas with mum intact - those rifles are most likely battlefield pick ups, or, in this case, came from an arsenal before the Japanese had time to grind off the mum."

The chrysanthemum was a symbol of the Emperor, who was considered a god during that period. The "mum" was ground so the surrendered weapon would not disgrace the Emperor.
