Japanese Tanegashima Matchlock Arquebus

Measuring 52 1/2 inches overall, with a set of fixed sights on the swamped barrel, featuring brass inlays of a ho-oh bird, an untranslated two-figure marking, and a brass and copper inlaid clan mon. The stock is also decoratively inlaid, with a recurring cherry blossom design and other mixed floral designs, as well as a turtle on top of the wrist, and a small ring ahead of the trigger guard which currently holds a small white and green tassel.

ConditionVery good, showing some rusting and spotting, as well as some mild handling marks overall. The stock is also very good, with some mild chipping as well. Mechanically needs work.
