Japanese Tanegashima Matchlock Arquebus

Measuring 37 inches overall, with a set of fixed sights on grooved top barrel flat, which is marked with a 5-part untranslated inscription at the breech and two additional symbols on the right side behind the touchhole, which is furnished with a swiveling cover. The lock is smooth brass with an iron arm, and the stock has a branded marking on the underside, two stamps behind a copper mon emblem on top of the wrist, and a long iron trigger guard. The mon is an arrangement of four square "nail pullers"; arrangements of four pullers are associated with the Uda Genji, the descendants of the Emperor Uda, with the particular arrangement associated with the Rokkaku samurai clan.

ConditionFine. The barrel and trigger guard show a mixed aged patina, with some mild spotting and handling marks, and the lock and barrel bands show a reddish antique color. The trigger mechanism needs adjustment. The stock is also fine overall, with some light scratches and dents.
