I don't think any of the later exist. riceone Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from any direction. - Billy the Kid

Having put that to rest would it be worth more than the standard $300 dollars they get for original blued guns.

On page 174 of Military Rifles of Japan is listed Captured Chinese rifles. The bottom one is a type 30 nickle plated. That does not verify that the rifle was originally made by the Japanese only that it was captured by the Chinese and made that way. The Chinese adapted Japanese T38 carbines to 8x57, 762x39 and the T38 rifle to 8x57 and some others. This no way validates the these rifles came from Japanese Arsenals that way. Only that the chinese fixed them. Had this rifle been aurthenic it would have been listed differently. You've got a rifle worthless to a real Japanese collector. Someone who likes modified stuff may give you a good price. riceone. Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from any direction. - Billy the Kid
