HI guys
for sale is a Japanese Tanegashima made by Miroku of Japan, the same guys who makes Brownings guns.
these are long discontinued.
.50 smooth bore, snapping matchlock mechanism. 41.5" browned octagonal barrel.
shiny bore with no pitting. Japanese cherry stock has small dents here and there, and a hairline surface crack in the wood just behind the barrel band. this crack is superficial and does not affect the gun or compromise the strength of the stock at all.
I also have a copy of the extremely rare, long out of print "bible" on Japanese matchlocks, "Japanese Matchlocks, a story of the Tanegashima" by Shigeo Sugawa. 1st edition, signed by the author. they only printed the first edition in english, the rest were all in Japanese. this is available for 300 shipped separate from the gun or 200 shipped included with the gun.
1800 shipped, via Canada post expedited, insurance is on the buyer. can meet in person in Port Perry Ontario. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BOOK
No trades of any kind.
all sales are final. thanks for looking guys.
