If you post some good pictures of the left side receiver characters we can probably tell you lots of details about your individual rifle.
These rifles are like little history books.

It appears that the chrysanthemum has not been grown off, making it more desirable for an arisaka type 99

And a nice one at that, mum is still mostly intact. Interesting that they started to grind it and stopped. How's the bore look? I have a pretty nice one myself and have yet to shoot it due to the price of the 7.7

They did that on some rifles, as long as the Mum wasnt pristine it was fine to be released to a GI or Marine to take home.

Hornady I think makes 7.7 Arisaka, but your best bet is to reload for it. You can use .311 bullets (I use pulled Mosin Nagant bullets), and I make my cases out of .30-06( but there are a few companies that make brass for it now).
Not hard to reload for, and there is alot of load data out there. The Cartridge 3rd from the right is a 7.7 Arisaka, its got a 180Gr Remington .311 bullet.
