The North China Type 19 is a rare, improved variant of the Japanese Type 14 Nambu, produced in China during late WWII. It features a more accessible safety and a dedicated disassembly lever, addressing key ergonomic issues of its predecessor. Production was limited, with only around 200-250 units made, and fewer than two dozen are known to exist today, making it an extremely rare collector's item.
