I was able to pick this up for what I would consider to be a very good price. The holster is a correct late war type with shoulder strap intact. The pistol is a matching May 1945 dated Japanese Type 14 with 1 matching mag. It unfortunately has the idiot mark on the left grip.

Finding a 1945 dated pistol is not easy due to very low production numbers averaging about 1k a month.

 

 

 

 

Nice so how much did that run you?

About $1k for rig with extra mismatched mag.

That is not to bad at all

A nice late war holster with strap included is a $400 minimum eBay item. I never cared about the Jap stuff until recently. It can be picked up for reasonable prices for the most part.

The Japanese firearm prices are not to bad, though they seem to have been climbing relatively quickly in the past couple of years. II am personally expecting the last ditch to really climb in the next couple of years. 

Very nice setup. I just sold off most of my Japanese items. Just have my Arisaka Type 99 w/ accessories to get rid of and some ammo. Japanese prices have fallen of late but the holster alone is easy $400 so $1k for the rig is a damn good deal.
