Looks a different rifle now. Can't make my mind up about re-bluing (which is very indifferent at the moment)
Don't know anything about these rifles (it's a .22)
Out of interest anybody know what they're worth,(I wont be selling it)

hello dave, i sold my type 01 about 4/5 years ago for £60, it was immaculate but didn't realise until i came on here that they fetch a lot more than that in this condition
my other '50' was a gecado 50, i sold that one for £30
