6.5X55 Swede Chicom from Korea
#1, my brother in law WOULD NOT LIE.
#2, I've seen it. It is a Swede 6.5X55 not an Arisaka.
#3, It has Chicom markings.
a, Having been in the firearms business for years I have some expertice with them and the ordinance stamps/markings appeared to be authentic when I was shown it a few years ago.
#4, His older brother who also was in Korea along with his younger brother unpacked the rifle together upon its arrival from the post office.
# 5, My wife remembers seeing it and the story associated with its liberation.
Maybe it shouldn't have been in Korea but it was.
So since u 2 are obviously mistaken about its origin, I can only assume it's a very rare piece of military history and could be of some importance to military & firearms historians.
As far as it's possible value is concerned, it would appear to be almost priceless.
Thanks for your help, it's appreciated.
