One of the most neglected collecting fields is that of Japanese handguns. Perhaps because their culture is so foreign to most westerners, and maybe because most of their ammunition is hard to get, not much of the WWII stuff sees the light of day.
And yet, these are the guns we faced in the Pacific Theater of Operations during the war. Because of this, I find them interesting to study. Here are some photos.
