    From the photos, it looks like a Type I rifle to me. This was a contract rifle made for the Japanese military, by the Italians in the late 1930's. The stock has been painted black. Even in excellent original condition they usually don't bring a lot of money. Without more quality photos hard to give you any more information.

    I believe you are right. Thanks for the help, and CASE CLOSED.

    The Type I was often issued to Japanese Naval troops. And the Japanese Navy did paint some rifles black. The paint could be original.

    It looks like a home-made bolt bending job.
    I knew a guy who did that once, after drinking 5 Heinekens, he pulled the bolt on a Mauser, gripped the bolt in the vice grips, fired up the propane torch and bent that bolt.
    Not too pretty, but it worked. Looked just like this bolt.

    I have one of the late war Cast Iron Naval trainers thats painted black over the receiver and stock. Wasn't aware that they also painted their functional military rifles that way?
