Japanese Matchlock Pistol
Great piece of decoration to put up in my room! Feels great to hold and provides some insight on how matchlocks of the time period would have worked. Little complaints, the bit holding the match is a bit loose and one of the brass panels is clearly from a different stock than the rest, it appears far more worn than the rest of the pieces. Overall tho, still a great piece of decor!
