Attractive Japanese Matchlock Rifle with Numerous Engraved Brass Accents

Raised blade front and notch rear sights, with a pair of brass barrel bands, an inlaid scene of a dragon flying amongst clouds ahead of the rear sight, and an inlaid silver mon towards the rear. Brass lock plate, with an engraved scene of a turtle in the ocean on top, ball trigger and a tube guard. Smooth straight grip stock, with 4 floral escutcheon panels on either side of the forearm, additional floral discs around and behind the lock, a silver bordered mon ahead of the trigger guard, brass mon on the underside of the buttstock, a heavenly lion on the right side, a pass-through channel for the match in the wrist and a floral panel on the comb.

ConditionVery good, with a deep brown patina on the barrel, showing some mild pitting and handling marks. The stock is very good, with mild pressure dents and a few small chips and cracks. Brass is fine, with areas of deep aged patina. Mechanically needs minor adjustment.
