    Not much chance unless it's a long rifle.

    Either post pics or describe in great detail the early features.

    I've seen that info before. I can't find a series mark on this thing, and there definitely isn't one to the left of the serial number.

    None of the information in that link is relevant to my original question...

    Correct, the Nagoya arsenal had a "0" series, 100,000 rifles made before the series system was introduced. And Nagoya produced the type 99 from 1939-1945, starting with series 0 in 1939 and ending with series 12 whenever they quit at the end of the war...

    For future reference, threads in the "Ask The Experts" section automatically lock after 10 replies. So it is nice when people try to keep the replies relevant and useful.
