Value will depend on the exact model, its condition, and originality. Many were modified from the military form to a civilian sporter, with a SHARP reduction in collector value. This will really need a "hands on" assessment o value by a knowledgeable person. The intact mum does increase the value- weapons surrendered after the end of the war had the mum ground off. Rifles with the mum intact were captured in combat.
Depending on the condition and rarity, your Arisaka rifle with mum intact (the flower symbol) could range anywhere from 60.00 to 3,000.00US.
