Be careful if you try to shoot it.  My understanding is that some Hanyang 88s were "local copies", basically made like Khyber Pass guns.  I had one that looked sketchy AF. I never tried to shoot it.

i do not shoot any of my 88 rifles , but thank you for having my back , it is appreciated just way too many variables to be safe for me , pressures , bullet size in some of the older 8mm is smaller ,just too many things i do not care to take a chance on

That's the best looking Hanyang Type 88 I've ever seen. A real gem you have there.

That rifle reminds me of ones behind the doors at my Grandparents Farm and other relatives in East Texas in the 60's.
I was too young to get to shoot them and was told they was from the war.
Back then, dam near every man had been in WW2 and/or Korea.
I know my Uncle fought in the Pacific.
No idea what happened to all of them...

Depends where it was made. Some of the warlords had Western style machine shops. Some....not so much.

Mine has some cool cartouches.
