Japanese WWII Era Training Rifle Prop with Import Marks - A Japanese training prop rifle (Kyoren-ju) constructed from a dark-stained wood stock with a full-length handguard and metal fittings.

The receiver is a hollow, non-functioning metal tube with a cutout for a bolt, though the bolt itself is absent. The trigger assembly is a simplified, non-functional metal component. Faint impressions are impressed into the wood grain on the underside of the stock forend. These marks consist of the words TRAINER (JAPAN) in Roman characters.
