The was produced during the early years of World War II for the Japanese Empire by the Kingdom of Italy (''Type I'' is not a numeric symbol, it denominates ''Italian''). After the invasion of China, all Arisaka production was required for use of the Imperial Army, so under the terms of the Anti-Comintern Pact, the Imperial Navy contracted with Italy for this weapon in 1937.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.forgottenweapons.com/rifles/type-i-carcano/ )〕 The Type I is based on the Type 38 rifle and utilizes a Carcano action, but retains the Arisaka/Mauser type 5-round box magazine. The Type I was utilized primarily by Japanese Imperial Naval Forces. It is chambered for the 6.5 x 50 mm cartridge.〔 Approximately 80,000 Type I rifles were produced in 1938 and 1939, 40,000 manufactured by Beretta and an equal number by Italian government arsenals; the final shipment to Japan left Venice by submarine in 1941.〔〔 On the collector market in the United States, the Type I rifle is uncommon but not particularly popular among collectors. Since the heritage of the Type I rifle is both Japanese and Italian, it tends to be shunned by collectors of Japanese focus. The Type I typically lacks the Japanese Imperial Chrysanthemum markings, or other markings that typically interest collectors of Japanese militaria.〔 Many Type I rifles brought back to the United States as War Trophies were reportedly captured at Kwajalein Atoll, the Philippines, or from Japan at the conclusion of hostilities. ==References==
