Hey guys welcome to another video from Historic Militaria Today we are going to be looking at the Japanese Type 94 pistol Which was a standard Japanese military handgun for the World War II era And it was at least officially adopted by the Japanese Army It was not officially adopted by the Japanese Navy Although a number were used by naval officers And it was quite popular also with tank crewmen And pilots and just folks who had to be in a pretty confined space Because it is a small gun It was invented or design started about 1929 by Colonel Nambu Of the Nambu pistol fame Somebody who I just don't think knew how to design a gun to save his life At least not a handgun This one has some pretty interesting design issues that we will get into But it was adopted in late 1934 for Japanese military service And by 1935 it was in production Stayed in production through 1945 Although specimens that are late war 1944-45 Will have pretty poor bluing A lot of machining marks And just be generally poor quality I'm not going to say they are safe or unsafe to fire I probably wouldn't shoot one of these anyway Just because the ammunition is hard to get And parts break on these And it's not easy to get them repaired So this is a standard handgun Firing the standard 8x22 Nambu ammunition Which is the bottlenecked round right here And that is a standard Japanese production World War II round It was pretty anemic compared to other calibers of the day Certainly 9mm or 7.62x25 Or .45 ACP Only develops about 1000 FPS Which is pretty slow for a Really any handgun caliber I know that the .45 ACP is subsonic But it is a 230 grand man stopper And this thing is not Anyway As is standard on most all Japanese pistols Of the World War II era These will be nicely dated for you So all you have to do is take a look at that 18 right there And then .2 And you can figure out your date So the first thing you do is you take the 18 Add 25 to it And you get 1943 Or you get a 43 So 1943 And then your second number Or your number after the period Is going to be the month it was made in And that's just a 1 through 12 So that's going to be February 1943 production And this gun has all the hallmarks of an Early to mid-war production gun When Japan still had access to resources To make these guns pretty well It's got the black Bakelite checkered grips Which were the original grips put on these Also it's got nice strawing On the small parts As you can see the trigger The screws Just nicely strawed Pretty nice bluing Just a nice looking gun Flipping it over You've got the straw on your small parts You've got your safety right here Which is strawed And I believe if I remember right Down is fire Actually Yes down is fire So with these guns You could actually have an Unintentional discharge very easily If your gun was cocked And you had your safety off This transfer bar right here Could be depressed Like I'm doing right now Just through careless handling If you grab it wrong You actually could depress that transfer bar And your gun would go off It does not take a lot of force either I actually was handling one of these one time And of course it was unloaded But it was cocked And just through some Slight careless handling The gun went off Luckily there was no round in it But still it was a little bit shocking To see how easily that can happen This particular specimen still has As I said the Bakelite grips Which disappeared in about 1944 to 45 And were replaced with sort of a Primitive smooth wooden grip Because Japan could not get access To Bakelite due to allied bombing raids And just the general Going to hell of everything in the country As they were being squeezed tighter and tighter Also you'll see a lot more Machining marks on these guns This one is you know Just a nice looking example Smooth without a lot of machining marks Kind of what you expect from a Just a well made pistol Also as is typical of most Japanese guns in general You'll have the serial number Repeated in multiple places This one of course has the Standard Japanese kanji for the model Flip it over You've got your manufacturing marks And date right there And then you've got your serial number And this one ends in 123 The magazine on this Is numbered to the gun And it does actually end in 123 When you go ahead and Remove your magazine And your magazine releases up here The other interesting thing about this gun Is just some careless flopping around Can release your magazine Just flipping it over I've noticed if it Kind of smacks onto something This magazine release protrudes far enough Where it'll get bumped And your magazine will come loose So on these Right here You've got your Last three digits of the serial number Are repeated So 123 So that's nice to find a matching magazine With one of these guns A lot do not have matching magazines Some do, some don't If you are looking for a nice match set That's always a nice little feature This is unfortunately the nicest box Of Japanese 8mm ammo I could find On short notice This is a pretty banged up one But most did not survive the war So just finding an original box Is a little bit tricky This one is in pieces But those are the original cartridges And this one actually came out of this So we'll put it back in there They came in 16 round boxes like this Of just standard brass cased Japanese ammunition One thing I will note Is the majority of Japanese ammunition Does not have a head stamp So if you're ever curious About Japanese ammo from World War II Most of the time it will not have a head stamp There are exceptions Which is way beyond the scope of this video But that will give you a good idea That you've got original Japanese ammo This is an original holster for a Type 94
