Anyone know anything about this Japanese gun? I have a 38 with a low serial number and can't find much information.

Thanks,

Made between 1965 and the mid 1980's. Two versions, the 6 shot Liberty Chief and the smaller 5 shot Police Special. Well made little firearms made on the Colt pattern. The big BUT is parts, they are not a clone of anything and I have seen no parts available from anyone. Made at a time when the Yen was still undervalued and the price could compete with US made gun. Also before the tighened Jananese gun laws choked off any manufacture of hand guns, even for export. Value is what ever the maket will bear, they are not considered a collectabe ( I know, some poeple will collect anything, even dirty underwear:). )
