Tengu1957 Posted August 7 Report Posted August 7 Monster O Zutsu 100 Monnme 1.8 inches internal bore 48 inches long 46 lbs Singed Kubota Chozaemon No Jo Working in Akita Han in Dewa No Kuni ( North of Japan ) Made around 1840 A note on the smith states he was a practioner of Ninja gunnery I had never heard of this but apparently it was about firing in the rain and other conditions so that the enemy could not see the flash of the gun or initiating powder Many thanks to Nich Nick Ricupero for selling this to Me. I really love this gun ! Many thanks to Jan Pettersson for helping me with the information about the maker. 2 1 1 Quote
