Nearly 10 tons of gold, a bunch of fairly intact World War II Japanese weapons and equipment, looking a lot, in fact, it is not enough for the "Big Shark" to plug the teeth!

Even if you add 72 boxes of large and small artworks, you don't need to enter the warehouse, you can put it in the cabin.

It's just a small scene, and the guys have chosen a lot of valuable Japanese equipment for themselves, the most popular of which is needless to say is the cold weapon knife, but the 94-type and 98-type sabers add up to only 3, and the best adjutant knife was also occupied by Boss Guan.

There are not many good things, it doesn't matter, the Type 95 saber and the Type 30 bayonet make up the number, and even the old-fashioned Murata-style bayonet used as a machete by the Japanese Nanyang troops has it, and the number is enough.

Charmili was lucky enough to dig out a naval non-commissioned officer's dagger from a cabinet, a rare thing to find in an artillery tunnel.

Exquisite, it looks like a sword, and after pulling out the scabbard, the inside is actually a straight single-edged Japanese short knife, but the blade is relatively narrow.

The non-commissioned officer mentioned by the Japanese army actually means the officer of other countries, and the non-commissioned officer in the international sense becomes a corporal in Japan, and the Type 95 saber is the standard for the corporals.

Interestingly, the most common knife found in the entire tunnel system was not the famous and notorious Type 30 bayonet, but a strange knife with a brass handle and a total length of nearly 70 centimeters.

Most of these knives found are visibly worn and appear to have been used frequently during wartime.

It's too bad to want, and more than 80 "strange knives" in good condition were selected, and a group of people were ready to take them back as gifts.

Jacob wondered what kind of knife it was—the handle was almost cylindrical, almost fifteen centimeters long, with a blade similar to that of a Type 30 bayonet, but wider, and no tenon structure for a synchronous gun.

The super big guy had already found that Lin Man seemed to know more about the equipment of the Japanese army in World War II, and his curiosity was uncomfortable, and he found Lin Man, who was sorting out his belongings, and asked shamelessly.

"This is an artillery knife, which has been equipping the Japanese army since 1885. The artillery and sappers of the devil's army are equipped.

It's long and heavy enough to be easily used for slashing, as well as cutting shrubs, camouflage nets, barbed wire, and a tool knife.

This thing was small in quantity and much more expensive than the Type 30 bayonet, and was very popular in the American market.

When the time comes, you can take a few more handfuls and give them away to others, but the source must be made up first, don't goof. ”

As he spoke, Lin Man also used the artillery knife in his hand to cut a section of vines on the side, and then played with a knife flower, and said: "The center of gravity is very good, but the handle is a little shorter." ”

Lin Man has a big hand, Jacob has a bigger hand, and it will be more difficult to use this knife.

Lin Man handed the knife back to Jacob, and seeing the way the young man's huge hand held the knife awkwardly, he simply took out the saber from the box he was packing.

"I've got this for you, and this thing is easy to hold. ”

"This is the ...... you were looking for"

Jacob was too embarrassed to ask.

Zhang Nan said that the little devil's equipment can be taken casually, whoever finds it belongs to whom, he is not gluttonous for everything.

Lin Man shoved the saber into Jacob's hand and said, "Just handle the 98-style saber, the blade is all handmade, it's okay." I've already got about it, you can just take it. ”

Regardless of the reaction of the super big guy, Lin Man began to tidy up his things again.

Jacob felt a little embarrassed when he saw him so generous, holding a saber in his left hand and scratching his scalp with his right hand.

After thinking for a moment, 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 saw that Jacob had a small pistol in his big hand.

"You still take it when you have a big hand?"

"I'm going to give it to my mom, saying I bought it in the market"

As he spoke, he pulled out two empty magazines from his pocket.

Lin Man took it, unloaded the magazine magazine, and saw that there were still 5 rounds of ammunition in it, and it was estimated that the spring of this magazine had long been finished.

Habitually pulled down the sleeve, and the chamber was empty.

"Is there a holster?"

Jacob shook his head.

"Don't give me this gun, and it's not appropriate to give it to your mother, unless your mother is a first-class gun collector.

This gun is not cheap, collectible, send the boss to it. A rare one-of-a-kind pistol that the boss will like. ”

As he spoke, he returned the gun to Jacob - a young man who was only 22 years old after all, and some people still didn't understand the world.

It didn't take long for the pistol to arrive in Zhang Nan's hand, who was repacking a few eye-catching pieces of jewelry, intending to put them in the box of the crib and transport them back to New York first.

"A pistol?"

"I don't know what Lin Man said. ”

The young man was an honest man in front of the boss, and he nodded back to the boss's question: The boss said that he didn't like to talk to people with his head up, and his cervical spine would be bad.

Zhang Nan played with it in his hand and said to Jacques: "Actually, it's right to call it a style, but it's not entirely right, this gun should be called a Hamada pistol."

You see, there is no 'one-type' inscription on this gun, and it should be called a one-type pistol because there is a kind of two-type general's pistol, and this gun is automatically upgraded. ”

Jacob was a little speechless: he didn't know the words on the sleeve, but anyone who had graduated from elementary school could recognize it.

Zhang Nan and Lin Man's actions of unloading the magazine and pulling the sleeve are definitely a good habit and a must-have habit, unless one day they want to kill themselves or the people around them in a daze.

Xiang Weirong was also on the side, asked for a pistol from Zhang Nan's hand, looked at it carefully, and said: "It's very similar to Huakou Masturbation, and the bullet seems to be the same." ”

Huakou Masturbation, the third-ranked "Masturbator" in the classic Anti-Japanese War movie, one shot, two horses and three flowers, Xiang Weirong, a person who has been a soldier at this age, can recognize it after visiting the Military History Museum a few times.

Hearing his brother-in-law's words, Zhang Nan said with a smile: "This gun was originally based on the Belgian Browning M1910 pistol, which was designed based on the flowery mouth, and even the bullets were Browning 7.65 mm short bullets." ”

As he spoke, he gestured to the grip and said, "It looks like it, this grip is a little longer than the prototype, and the beauty of the whole gun is also broken because of this, just to load one or two more bullets..."

The prototype is a 7-round magazine, and some people say that this Hamada-style pistol is an 8-round magazine, and some say that it is 9 rounds, but this will have 5 rounds on hand, and it is really impossible to test how many rounds it is, unless the magazine is disassembled.

Maybe Xiang Weirong can see it, but Zhang Nan is not an expert in this area, and there is no need to dwell on the question of how many rounds to load.

As for how Zhang Nan knows so much?

I've only seen a film report in my last life, and there are a lot of ugly pistols for little devils, and there are very few good-looking ones, so I remember it, and the designer of this gun is not a gunsmith or an arsenal, but a self-employed person!

“... Even if this robbery becomes crooked because of the greed for one or two rounds of ammunition, it is much better than the Wang Ba box, and it does not have as many problems as the Wang Ba box.

The level of the top private arms workshop to make such small-batch guns is higher than that of the regular military factories of the little devils.

Oh, this gun is a replica of a private gun shop..."

The Hamada pistol is the product of a private workshop, and the provenance of this gun can be traced back to 1895.

Beginning that year, there was a Hamada gun shop in Tokyo, Japan, which soon became famous throughout Japan for producing high-quality shotguns, and later the owner's son became a talented gunsmith.

The gun shop had always produced high-quality sports guns and hunting guns, but in 1941, because the devils had to prepare for the Pacific War, a strict wartime resource control policy was promulgated, and the market was scarce of raw materials, and the gun shop was about to be unable to open.

In order to make a living, the Hamada gun shop had to transform into a Japanese military to produce firearms, and the new boss had a clear vision and found out where to start to grab a bowl of rice from the big military factory: at that time, Japan's self-produced 14-type pistol, that is, the "Wang Ba Box", was difficult to produce in large quantities because of the high cost, and all kinds of small pistols produced in the West were difficult to obtain because of the embargo policy, so the Japanese army urgently needed a cheap and reliable self-produced pistol at this time.

The second-generation owner of the gun shop immediately took matters into his own hands, designed a small pistol based on the Browning M1910 pistol, and beat many competitors in the tests of the Ministry of War Ordnance Bureau, and was officially used by the Japanese Army in 1941.

And according to records, the pistol was not named after the Japanese Imperial Calendar or Emperor's Year after it was finalized, but was simply named "Hamada-style pistol".

“... There is a saying that this gun won not only because of the high manufacturing cost and poor performance of the Wang Ba box, but also because the Wang Ba box is so ugly, it is so ugly that the middle and senior officers of the little devil have a deep hatred for it!

The fundamental reason is that the war was fought too smoothly, and the little ghost couldn't get over it......

Really, brother-in-law, I'm not wrong, the devil who won the battle has no face, at least on the pistol......

Don't worry, just listen to me.

Because of the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army was invincible in Southeast Asia, and the senior officers of the Japanese army often had to attend some ceremonies to negotiate or accept the surrender of the other party, and the Japanese army often had to establish a colonial government or puppet government in the occupied area, and the senior officers of the Japanese army often had to attend some high-level social and diplomatic occasions between allies.

But the problem is that at that time, several pistols in the Japanese army were uglier than the other, like the Wang Ba box, which was quite good-looking, but it was not suitable for senior officers, that is, the equipment of low-level officers......

This thing will become ugly after the hands of the little devils, Wang Ba box imitates Luge, and Luge is a classic, and it becomes a chicken paw......;

Zhang Nan crackled, but found that his brother-in-law seemed to be a little impatient to listen, so he hurriedly stopped running the train and said: "It is said that every time I attend an important ceremonial occasion, those senior officers of the Japanese Army will feel embarrassed because the guns are too ugly, and that is like a general becoming a small soldier."

The generals of the Japanese army were hairy, and strongly demanded that they be equipped with ceremonial pistols that were suitable for senior officers to wear, and the army was equipped with many types of officer pistols in a short period of time, and this Hamada-style pistol was the first type, probably because of this, it was called a type of general's pistol.

The shooting accuracy of this pistol should also be good, and the appearance is also suitable for the senior general Zope, personal feeling, this can be regarded as the most pleasing pistol in World War II.

It's not easy for the perverted aesthetics of the little devil to imitate such a pistol, at least it's okay, the Type 94 pistol I found last time is compared to this, hehe... It's probably ugly enough to cry!"

Xiang Weirong was holding a pistol in his hand, and he could see that the manufacturing standard of this gun should be very high, and the surface of the gun was blued - what he couldn't see for the time being was that there were still some parts inside the gun that were reddish-brown because of heat treatment, and a few parts were polished.

Exquisite craftsmanship!

Before the war, gun shops that were famous for their high-end civilian guns still maintained the habit of excellence when producing mass-produced guns. However, at that time, the Hamada gun shop was too small to produce parts, and the post-processing of the parts, as well as the assembly and acceptance of the whole gun, were all handled by Torii Matsu Works, a subsidiary of the Nagoya Arsenal.

This can be seen in the two rows of extra-long inscriptions on the holster: the names of the gun shop and the factory are engraved on them.

Xiang Weirong handed the gun to Qiu Bo and said, "Take it apart and take a closer look, do you want to replace the wear parts." ”

Qiu Bo didn't speak, took the pistol and magazine, and unloaded the five rounds.

Bullets are thrown in the trash, which is not a scarce commodity, and there are as many Browning short bullets as there are in the United States.

As for repairing guns, wear and tear parts such as springs are minor problems, whether it is the gun itself or the spring in the magazine, it can be easily solved in the United States.

In particular, this kind of prototype, or with guns that are still mass-produced today, is more convenient to repair, and can be done even in the manor.

The management of firearms in the United States is lax, and the "joint forces" still have a lot of privileges, and the bodyguards have set up a "small workshop" in the tool room of the second building of the manor - not to mention small actions such as reloading guns and bullets, it is no problem to make guns themselves.

"This gun is quite rare, boss, I saw it once at the New York gun show, the seller offered $50,000, I don't know if there was a deal in the end. ”

It was Lin Man who spoke, and he would have fixed his things.

Zhang Nan said: "This gun should be available in museums and old ordnance warehouses in Huaxia, and it is so expensive in the United States?"

$50,000 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 few, maybe the United States and Huaxia still have this gun in the world, and the total number will definitely not be a hundred."

The collector said that from the end of '41 to February '44, all the data related to its production were destroyed in the bombing, and the total production is nowhere to be found, but it is estimated that about 4,500 to 5,000 units were produced.

At first, all of these pistols were distributed to the Japanese Army's invasion of China, and only a small part of them went south to the Pacific theater with the Japanese troops stationed in China in the later part of the war, and a small part of them were brought to the West as trophies by the American Army after the war.

At present, there are only about 20 Hamada-style pistols recorded in the entire Western world, and they are all treasures of collectors.

The production numbers are all between 2214 and 2959, and this one is numbered 2518, which is exactly in line with the previous statistics. ”

As for the rest of the Hamada-style pistols, needless to say, they were either destroyed in the war, or a very small number remained in China, or were buried somewhere in the Asian theater.

Even the Japanese mainland seems to have lost this gun: it was given to the troops who went out to invade, and the local troops were not distributed at all.
