Very nice Teppo indeed. I really like the the engraved brass wrap-around on this one. And again, the pronounced muzzle. A good one. My only Teppo is a plain, munitions grade example. I intentionally wanted this more plain one for a shooter. It has a steel liner in the original barrel. Rick |

Thanks Rick
Nice Tanegashima and like all you guns I am aware you restore them to functional shooting standards I like the powder flask which goes with it.The cannon like barrel am sure did lots of harm when the samurai warriors used it Regards Rajesh |

OK. Yes, I thought I read that somewhere. Also part of traditional costumes. Thanks for confirming. Rick |
