And found a 1969 patent application:

Thank you.
The patent application - great.
That's some new and very interesting info.
Must be for the GR75: a patent for a gas operated rifle.
Sharp's address is in the application:
Kensuke Chiba, 8, Z-chome, Yotsuya, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan

I shall be writing my first letter to Japan! See what happens.
Not to Kensuke Chiba of course, he has shuffled off this mortal coil.

@ johnbaz - wow, very nice, especially the ad for the pistol. Had not seen that before.

@ vintage, thank you. I have written about that link earlier on in this thread
