Patrick, I answered your previous post about the gun before I saw this post. Joe is correct in that it is the 'Perfection' model. It was also made as a non-ejector.
Finding its way to Japan is interesting and I suppose it has a few tales to tell. I can recall being shown an old hammer gun some years back that had been 'liberated' by the Japanese during the war from a British plantation owner when he was interned over in the far east. He somehow got the gun back after the war and it still had all the Japanese writing painted on the stock. I fail to remember how he was re-untited with it sad to say. Lagopus.....
