Tanegashima for sale. Price lowered.

The percussion has been sold.  The matchlock still available at a lower price - $700 plus shipping, obo.  One of you watchers need to pick this up.

 

The matchlock is complete.  The ramrod was broken off and missing the breech end, leaving only about 18" of the end displayed.  I have forged welded a piece on to it so it has a full length ramrod.  The Mei is not legible closest to the breech.

 

Here are some pics of the guns:

Barry, maybe you added chalk in the meantime?

 

Actually it is/was not legible to any normal sane right-thinking individual, but a liberal application of fantastic crackling computing brain power and fuzzy logic was able to join up the dots.

 

Oh, and yes. "A-Shu (Awa in Shikoku) O-shima Fusanosuke Kokichi/Takayoshi, Saku (made this)"
