This is Japanese Rifles of World War II by Duncan O. McCollum, published by Excalibur Publications of Tucson, Arizona. Softcover, copyright 1996. ISBN 978-1-880677-11-7.
Excalibur’s large-format softcovers are built for identification rather than narrative. The text works through the rifles by type and variant, with charts of manufacturers, arsenal symbols and series markings, so a rifle in hand can be traced to the arsenal that built it. Black and white photographs and line drawings throughout.
Coverage includes: Arisaka development and Japanese rifle markings; the Type 38 rifle, carbine and cavalry rifle; the Type 44 carbine; the Type I; the Type 99 short and long rifles; the Type 2 paratroop rifle; concentric circle rifles; sniper rifles; the Naval Special Type 99; the Type 02/45 rifle; the North China Type 19 carbine; training rifles; and bayonets with slings.
Included: One softcover book, the copy pictured.

Condition: Softcover in excellent condition. The gray laminated covers are clean and bright — no soiling, scuffing, stickers or price clipping — and the spine shows no reading creases. There is a light wave to the cover stock along the top and fore edges, the normal behavior of a glossy laminated wrap, with no bends, dents or crushed corners. Page edges are clean and white with no tanning. The interior is clean and unmarked, with no writing, highlighting or owner names, and the binding is tight and square.
