5 More 10 Monme Guns


Recommended Posts

Mostly very fine and healthy examples. Nos 2 and 3 are Ogino-Ryu guns, and both have brass Namako-gane blocks behind their triggers. (Namako originally means a sea cucumber)

 

The stamping along the top of the barrel was performed in Meiji 5 during the great national registration of military guns. "Jinshin No. 621 Okayama Ken" (Prefecture, in old Kanji, i.e. 縣 for 県).  

 

Can you show the ink brush writing inside the stock?
