5 More 10 Monme Guns

[Tengu1957]

Here is another group , all are signed. One has quite of bit of kanji in ink on the inside of the stock. One has an image of writing on the outside of the barrel. If you see anything interesting let me know and I can provide additional images. Thanks

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?
