Jap Type 94...the original "glockcidental"-like discharge pistol.
That particular one was made in Dec 1944. Note the horrible finishes and the wooden slab grips. By then both Type 94 and Type 14 pistols were made with any parts they could scrounge, often using previously rejected parts.
The pistol is dated Dec. 1944 (Sho[wa] 19, 12[Dec}) on the far left. t is difficult to imagine anything being built by Japan at that time being of any reasonable level of quality.
