As many of you know, I haved always been interested in Siamese / Thai weapons of Japanese origin. I am presently working on an update to my old Siamese Mauser booklet and it is getting pretty interesting. Anyway, my contacts in Thailand urged me to do an additional chapter in the book covering Siamese / Thai weapons history in general. Kind of like a mini version of Japanese Imported Arms Of The Early Meiji Era. I will try to meet their desires as they have been most helpful in my past research.

So I need help. If anyone has a weapon that saw Siamese / Thai service or has any knowledge in this area I sure would appreciate your help.

Along those lines does anyone have any current contact information on LTC William B. Mosey, Jr. My last address for him was in VA but it is no longer good.

Francis, what kind of data do you need? I have a type 46 in 8mmx52. You are welcome to any information that I can gather from it.
