Local shop had someone bring this in and they were looking to know more about it. I don’t know anything much about handguns, so does anyone know what I should be looking for on one of these? Mag was not matching, but I don’t know what else should be numbered.

Questions on Papa Nambu

How much are they going to ask for it? Seen them on gunbroker for between $2500-9000. Though I can’t say I know what would make in that high end other than an all matching with holster type rig.
Everything is numbered on these! My example had a mis-match part that caused some functional issues.
The papa nambu is a very high quality gun as to fitting and finish. Bad design features such as safety and no hold open except by magazine follower. They were hand fitted and the parts did not interchange. Which is insane for a military weapon. Even the magazines often did not interchange, I have 14 papas. Most show heavy use. The bores more then often are very worn. A lot of them were captured by the Chinese and remarked with what looks like electo-pencils with people liberation army and unit markings. The holsters run in the 800 range. The papa runs from 1400 in poor shape to 3500 plus in very good condition. They are very good shooters. Accurate and work well when they are all matching. A complete set of pistol in VG condition with two matching mags, cleaning rod and VG holster i think at auction would bring in the 5000k range. The name papa is American the Japanese called it a modified 1902. A lot show Siamese marking.
