The tale of the Shanxi Warlord Yan Xishan is incredible. His attempts to develop a neutral province with a truly modern military force may have ultimately failed, but they did see him govern from 1912 through the warlord period, unification, revolts, the Japanese invasion, and ultimately retreating from the Chinese Civil War. This is a story about one of his guns.

So this is one of those oddball finds that one just needs to share. Suzie spotted this at the back of a pawn shop and because neither of us recognized it the rifle had to come home. Thanks to the mind-numbingly informed users of Gunboards we’re pretty sure we know its rough story.
