I was not interested in who owned the thing. My memory is how it was fit up.It took a magnifing glass to see the seems. It was also fully engraved.Dont know why I didn't borrow money to buy that gun.I was borrowin to buy cars. I have two Arisakas with provenance. They are complete and given to me by the people who brought them home from the battle of okinawa. They receive the utmost respect from me as one came from a battlefield the other from an arsenel.
