Gary, Hard to say, but if I were making assumptions ( which is always dangerous with S&Ws ) I would assume that probably shipment's/ sales of S&Ws by agents and S&W distributors to Japan were not in large blocks. More like a couple dozen per shipment, I would guess. ( The large blocks of S&Ws shipped to Japan by the factory occurred from orders placed by S&W distributors. They were mostly the NM#3s & revolving rifles. ) Most of the info. on Japanese marked Model 2 Armies in the serial range of 62000 comes from Japanese archives of the 1870s and their recordings of guns owned by the Prefectures or military armories. They didn't record the source for the Model 2s, however. Also, there are many other makes of firearms in their records besides S&Ws. I recently examined a civil war era Spencer carbine with Tokyo Arsenal stamps, plus the late John Ottoman once showed me a nicely done copy of a Model 2 that was made by the Japanese. Ed.
