The Japanese had their own sidearms during World War II, produced by Nambu, a manufacturer named after founder and inventor Kijiro Nambu of the Imperial Japanese Army. The guns were small and portable, and U.S. soldiers brought them home from the Pacific as souvenirs. While they don't quite have the panache of German firearms, the Nambu pistols are still valued by collectors. The original leather holster is included with this Morphy model.
