I found an original muzzle cover that I believe is for a T-99. I loads of reproductions around but no originals.
What might this be worth? I do not have pics unfortunately.

I didn't know that there was a muzzle cover for the T-99.

If you heard my shot, I wasn't aiming at you.
The repros say they fit the T-99 and the T-38. Perhaps it is a T-38 muzzle cover? Arisaka rifles of all flavors are WAY of my comfort zone. The one in questions looks like one of the four on the right in the top row in the first picture in this thread: http://www.castle-thunder.com/wforum...afdc37b3bf4f31
Great... now I gotta go find a few of these, LOL

The standard plastic muzzle covers are seen in 3-4 shades of olive to mustard brown in color. Typical price for these will run between $65-85. Brass in the same configuration will bring $100-125. There are several very hard to fine covers that will bring $250+.

Yep, what Jangle said. Plastic repros will have lots of crisp mold lines, unless someone took the time to polish them. Originals are usually worn, warped or cracked. Original plastic ones should NEVER be stored on the rifles. Really, they should never be mounted on the muzzle period. The spring will eventually stretch them and break the retaining tab off. I explained this to a dealer at Tulsa a while back. He stared at me with his mouth open like he was waiting for a cookie. I cam back by later and he had about $400 worth of muzzle covers he was in the process of slowly destroying. Great, when his break mine will be worth more and his will be worthless.

Can i see the pictures?
