Japanese Matchlock from Samurai class or Royal guards showing fully silver and gold inlaid barrel, black lacquer stock with royal mons or crests and heavy barrel weighing approximately 19lbs. with a 40” barrel of nearly .75 caliber and almost 2” across flats of the muzzle. The condition is near fine with some normal aging and just minor imperfections. The barrel shows a signature at the breech and crest above it. The stock shows many family crests. Would beinteresting to research crests as we believe they would relate to a high Samurai or possibly the Royal family during 18th to 19th century. Est.: $10,000-$20,000
