The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer
Chapter 750: Collector's treasure
Nearly 10 tons of gold, a pile of fairly good World War II Japanese weapons and equipment, looking at a lot, it is actually not enough for the "Great Shark" to stuff its teeth!
Even if you add 72 boxes of large and small works of art, you can put them in the cabin without having to stock up.
It's just a small scene. The guys have chosen a lot of valuable Japanese equipment for themselves. Needless to say, the most popular is the cold weapon knives, but the 94 and 98 sabers have only 3 handles in total, the best one. Zuoguandao was also taken over by Boss Guan.
There are not many good things. It doesn’t matter. The 95-style saber and 30-style bayonet make up the number, even the old-fashioned Murata-style bayonet used as a machete by the Japanese Nanyang troops, and the number is sufficient.
Xia Milli was lucky, and he pulled out the navy sergeant's dagger from a cabinet. It is rare to find this thing in an artillery tunnel.
Exquisite, it looks like a sword. After pulling out the scabbard, the inside is actually a straight single-edged Japanese short knife, that is, the blade is relatively narrow.
The noncommissioned officer referred to by the Japanese army actually means the officer of other countries, and the noncommissioned officer in the international sense becomes a corporal officer in Japan, and the 95-style saber is the standard equipment for corporal officers.
Interestingly, the tool found most in the entire tunnel system is not the famous and infamous Type 30 bayonet, but a weird tool with a brass handle and a total length of nearly 70 cm.
Most of these knives were found to have obvious wear, and it seems that they were often used during the war.
It's too bad, so I don't want it. The "strange knives" with good looks have selected more than 80 handles.
Jacob is very curious about what kind of tool this kind of tool is—the handle is almost cylindrical, with a length of about fifteen centimeters, and the blade is similar to a 30-style bayonet, but it is wider, and there is no locking structure for the synchronous gun.
The super big guy has discovered that Lin Man seems to have a better understanding of the equipment of the Japanese Army in World War II. He was curiosity and uncomfortable. When he found Lin Man who was sorting his belongings, he came to ask him shamelessly.
"This is an artillery knife. It has been equipped with the Japanese army since 1885. The artillery and engineers of the Guizi Army are equipped.
This thing is long and heavy enough to be easily used for hacking. It can also cut shrubs, cut camouflage nets, barbed wire, and can be regarded as a kind of utility knife.
This thing is small in quantity, the price is much higher than the 30 bayonet, and it is very popular in the American market.
At that time, you can take a few more, as gifts are all good things, but you have to make up the source yourself first, don't wear them. "
With that said, Linman also used the artillery knife in his hand to cut a section of the vine on the side, and then slapped a knife to feel it, and said: "The center of gravity is very good, but the handle is a little shorter."
Linman's hand is bigger, and Jacob's hand is bigger, it will be more difficult to use this knife.
Linman handed the knife back to Jacob, seeing the young man's huge hand awkwardly holding the knife, he simply took out the saber from the box he was packing.
"This is for you, so this thing is easy to hold."
"This is what you are looking for..."
Jacob is still embarrassed to ask for it.
Zhang Nan said that the little devil's equipment can be taken at will, whoever finds it belongs to him, he is not a gluttony for everything.
Linman shoved the saber into Jacob's hand and said, "Just handle the 98-style saber. The blade is all hand-made. It's okay. I have a similar one. You can just hold it."
Regardless of the reaction of the super big guy, Linman began to organize things by himself again.
Jacob looked at him so generous, holding a saber in his left hand and scratching his scalp with his right, and felt a little embarrassed.
After thinking about it, he took out a very small pistol from his trouser pocket.
"This gun is for you, my hand is too big."
Lin Man looked up, and Jacob was holding a small pistol in his big hand.
"You still have big hands?"
"I'm going to give it to my mother, saying I bought it in the market"
He took out two empty magazines from his pocket.
Linman took it, unloaded the magazine, and saw that there were 5 bullets in it. It is estimated that the spring of this magazine was already dead.
Habitually pulled the lower sleeve, the bullet bore empty.
"Are there holsters?"
Jacob shook his head.
"Don't give me this gun. It's not appropriate to give it to your mother, unless your mother is a first-rate gun collector.
This gun is not cheap, it's collectible, send it to the boss. A rare handgun, the boss will like it. "
He said that he returned the gun to Jacob-a 22-year-old man who still didn't understand some people's sophistication.
Before long, the pistol arrived in Zhang Nan's hands, and he was repacking a few eye-catching jewels. They planned to put them in the crib box and ship them back to New York first.
"A pistol?"
"I don't know what Linman said."
The young man was honest in front of the boss, and nodded his head back to the boss' question: The boss said that he doesn't like to raise his head and talk to people, because the cervical spine will be bad.
Zhang Nan played with it in his hand and preached to Jacques: "It's actually right to call it a style, but it's not quite right. This gun should be called a Hamada style pistol.
You see, there is no one-type inscription on this gun. It should be called a one-type pistol because there is a two-type general pistol, and this gun is automatically upgraded. "
Jacob was a bit speechless: He didn't recognize the words on the sleeve, but anyone from China who graduated from elementary school would recognize it.
Zhang Nan and Linman's actions of unloading the magazine and pulling the sleeve are definitely a good habit, and it is also a necessary habit, unless one day he wants to get rid of himself or the people around him.
Xiang Weirong was also nearby. He asked for a pistol from Zhang Nan, took a closer look, and said, "It's very similar to Huakou Luzi, and bullets seem to be the same."
Huakou Luzi, the third-ranked "Luzi" in the classic Anti-Japanese War movie, shot two horses and three Huakou, a soldier of Xiang Weirong's age, he would recognize it after he visited the Military History Museum several times.
Hearing the words of her brother-in-law, Zhang Nan smiled and said: "This gun was originally designed with reference to the Belgian Browning 1910 pistol, which was designed as a model of Huakou Liaozi. Even the bullets used were Browning 765mm short ammunition."
Then he gestured to the grip, and said: "It looks like, but this grip is a bit longer than the prototype, and the beauty of the whole gun is broken because of this, just to hold one or two more bullets..."
The prototype is a 7-round magazine. Some people say that this Hamada-style pistol is an 8-round magazine, and some say it’s 9 rounds. But this will only have 5 rounds on hand. It’s really impossible to test how many rounds it’s loaded unless the ammunition is loaded. The box is removed.
Maybe Xiang Weirong can tell, but Zhang Nan is not an expert in this area, and there is no need to worry about how many rounds to load.
As for how Zhang Nan knows so much?
I have seen the film report in my last life. The little devil is so ugly that there are many pistols, and there are few good-looking pistols. This is remembered, and the designer of this gun is not a gun master or an arsenal, but a self-employed person!
"...Even if the looting becomes crooked because of the greed for one or two rounds of ammunition, it is much better than the king's box, and it doesn't have as many faults as the king's box.
The level of a top-level private gun-robbing workshop for making such small-batch guns is higher than that of the little devil's regular military factory.
Oh, this gun is a counterfeit design from a private gun store..."
The Hamada-style pistol is a product of a private workshop. The origin of this gun can be traced back to 1895.
Beginning that year, a Hamada gun shop was established in Tokyo, Japan. It quickly became famous throughout Japan for producing high-quality shotguns. Later, the owner's son became a talented gunsmith.
This gun shop has always produced high-quality sports and hunting guns. However, in 1941, because the devils were preparing for the Pacific War, a strict wartime resource control policy was promulgated. The raw materials on the market were scarce, and the gun shop was almost unable to open. .
In order to make a living, Hamada Gun Shop had to transform to produce guns for the Japanese military. In addition, the new owner had a clear vision and found out where to start to grab a bowl of food from the big military factory: Japan’s self-produced 14-style pistol at that time was "Wang Ba Box" is difficult to mass produce because of the high cost, and all kinds of small pistols produced in the West are difficult to obtain because of the embargo policy, so the Japanese army is in urgent need of a cheap and reliable self-produced pistol at this time.
The second-generation owner of the gun shop immediately did it himself and designed a small pistol based on the Browning 1910 pistol, and defeated many competitors in the test of the Army Provincial Weapons Bureau. It was officially used by the Japanese Army in 1941.
And according to the record, this pistol did not follow the tradition after it was finalized, and was named after the Japanese imperial calendar year or the emperor's year. Instead, it was simply named "Hamata-style pistol."
"...There is a saying that this gun won not only because of the high manufacturing cost and poor performance of the king ba box, but also because the king ba box is so ugly that it is so ugly that the middle and senior officers of the little devil have a bitter hatred of it!
The fundamental reason is that the war was fought too smoothly, and the little devil's face could not survive...
Really, brother-in-law, I'm not wrong. The devils who won the fight have no face, at least with the pistol...
Don't worry, you'll know after listening to me.
Because of this, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army was invincible in Southeast Asia. Senior Japanese officers often attended some negotiations or ceremonies to accept the surrender of the other side, and the Japanese army often had to establish a colonial government or a puppet government in the occupied area. Military officers should often attend some high-level social and diplomatic occasions among allies.
But the problem is that at that time, the Japanese army's several pistols were uglier than the other. They looked good like the king's box, but they were not suitable for high-ranking officers, that is, the equipment of low-ranking officers...
These things become ugly through the hands of the little devil. The King Ba box imitates Luger, and the Luger is a classic, and it becomes a chicken claw; this gun is imitating a flower mouth, and it must be superfluous and sabotaged..."
Zhang Nan snapped and said, but found that her brother-in-law seemed a little impatient to hear, he quickly stopped running the train and said: "It is said that every time when attending important ceremonial occasions, those senior Japanese army officers will feel embarrassed because they are too ugly to be equipped with guns. The general became a soldier.
The generals of the Japanese Army were stunned, and they strongly demanded that they be equipped with ceremonial pistols that were suitable for senior officers to wear. The army was equipped with a variety of officer pistols in a short period of time. This Hamada-style pistol was the first type, probably Also because of this it is called a shogun pistol.
This kind of pistol should also have good shooting accuracy, and the appearance is also suitable for high-end Zope. Personally, this can be regarded as the most pleasing to the eye of the World War II little devil pistol.
It’s not easy for the little devil’s perverted aesthetics to imitate such a pistol, at least it’s okay. The 94-style pistol I found last time is compared with this one, hehe...maybe ugly to cry! "
Xiang Weirong was holding a pistol in his hand. He could see that the manufacturing standard of the gun should be very high. The surface of the gun was blued. What he couldn't see for the time being, there are still some parts inside the gun because of heat treatment. The back was reddish brown, and a few parts were polished.
Superb craftsmanship!
Before the war, the gun shop, which was famous for its high-end civilian guns, still maintained a habit of excellence when producing mass-produced guns. But in fact, because the Hamada gun shop was too small at that time, it could only produce parts, and the post-processing of parts and the assembly and acceptance of the whole gun were all in charge of Toriimatsu Manufacturing under the Nagoya Arsenal.
These can be seen from the two long rows of inscriptions on the holster: the names of the gun shop and the manufacturing company are engraved on it.
Xiang Weirong handed the gun to Qiu Bo and said: "Take it apart and take a closer look. Do you want to replace the worn-out parts."
Qiu Bo did not speak, took the pistol and the magazine, and unloaded the five bullets.
The bullet was thrown into the trash can. This is not a scarce item. There are as many Browning bullets as they need in the United States.
As for repairing guns, wearable parts such as springs are minor problems. Whether it is the gun itself or the spring in the magazine, it can be easily fixed in the United States.
Especially for this kind of prototype, it is still more convenient to repair and repair the firearms that are still mass-produced, and it can even be done in the manor.
The management of guns in the United States is lax, and the "united forces" still have a lot of privileges. The bodyguards set up a "small workshop" in the tool room of the second building of the manor-not to mention small actions such as reloading of bullets. They didn't make their own guns. problem.
"This gun is quite rare, boss, I saw it once at the New York Gun Show. The seller offered a price of $50,000. I don't know if there will be a deal in the end."
It was Linman who was talking, and he had already set things up.
Zhang Nan said: "This gun should be in the China Museum and Old Armory ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ so expensive in the United States?"
50,000 US dollars is a small amount of money for Zhang Nan, but in terms of gun collection, it is almost a sky-high price.
Lin Man nodded and said: "It's very rare. Maybe the United States and China still have this gun in the whole world. The total number will definitely not reach a hundred.
The collector said that the gun was produced from the end of 41 to February of 44. All the data related to its production were destroyed in the bombing. The total output is nowhere to be found. According to speculation, about 4500 to 5000 were produced. .
The pistols were all distributed to the Japanese army invading China at the beginning. At the end of the war, a small part of the pistols went south to the Pacific battlefield with the dispatched Japanese troops in China, and a small part of them was taken to the west by the US army as trophies after the war.
At present, there are only 20 Hamada-style pistols recorded in the entire Western world, and they are all treasures of collectors.
The production serial numbers are all between 2214 and 2959, and this one is numbered 2518, just in line with the previous statistics. "
As for the remaining Hamada-style pistols, it goes without saying that they were either destroyed by the war, or a very small amount remained in China, or were buried somewhere in the Asian battlefield.
Even the Japanese mainland seems to have lost this gun: they were all given to the invading troops, and the local troops were not dispatched at all. ...
