Well, there's no T-14 in the ref. section so here's one for consideration. In 1943, (18 date) only two factories remained in production.
- Kokubunji: Was still strawing there small parts, and never simplified their cocking piece. Only 6000 units made in '43.
- Toriimatsu: No straw, 46,500 units made 5.7X more than Kokubunji (1943)
- Kokubunji gun, unissued, with no wear on the bolt face, and v. light drag marks on the primary mag. 18.8 date.
- Parts numbered: mags, sear, cocking piece, bolt, safety, mag release, mag safety, frame, trigger, trigger group, barrel
- Parts strawed are bold above + firing pin extension + mag spring + perhaps grip screws

- Parts numbered: mags, sear, cocking piece, bolt, safety, mag release, mag safety, frame, trigger, trigger group, barrel
- 2nd mag is paper/grease wrapped to include the spare firing pin.
- Less than 5 T-14 mags are known still in their paper wrap. All wrapped mags are orphaned except this one. No other paper wrapped mag is known to be associated with a gun.

- So, a completely matched T-14 w/ 2 mags & spare pin, from the factory gun, & holster + tool
