JAPANESE TANEGASHIMA MATCHLOCK MUSKET
Shorter than a traditional Tanegashima musket, but doesn't seem to be quite short enough to be a Bajo-zutsu. Barrel measures about 2 feet long, with a smooth bore that has significant surface loss. Cock does go back but will not stay in the "cocked" position. Missing two barrel pins, and ramrod. Horse and bore designs on rear of handle. Complex dragon inlay on barrel has been worn off almost entirely, but outline can still be seen. Finish loss on metal, bruising and scratching on wood finish. Non-FFL. No international shipping. Know your state's firearm laws prior to bidding. Caliber: Unknown Serial #: NSN
