Type-14 8mm Nambu Pistol

Description

The most-commonly issued Japanese military pistol in WWII, the Nambu is found throughout Asia, but is not common anywhere else (although many were brought home by American servicemen after WWII). The ammunition is unique, although a small quantity is still manufactured in the U.S. for firearms enthusiasts.
