I just purchased a type 44 carbine and am trying to get some information about it.

Serial number is 32707

Manufactures symbol is a circle with half circles at the top and both sides of the bottom on the circle

In my research I see that this symbol was used by Koishikawa Arsenal (Tokyo) from 1870 - 1935 and also Kokura Arsenal from 1935 - 1945

Since the type 44 began production in 1911/12 I'm thinking my carbine was produced by Kokura Arsenal (Yes/NO?)

I would also like to know what year it was produced.

Also see that there are three versions of this carbine and you can tell them apart by the bayonet mount, but haven't been able to find pictures showing the difference between them.

The stock has 2 holes for the cleaning rods.
