TEPPO WITH HEAVY BARREL NEED TRANSLATION

Hello all

It is my first post in this forum.

 

This teppo is new addition in my collection .
Overall 97 cm.
It would be great if a menber could give me a translation for the marks found on the barrel and also if a member could you tell me more about this Teppo.
Any comment on it would be welcome.

I found similar teppo  classified as Mino Tetsupo

The matchlocks made at Mino are heavy and appear to be very durable .

I seems that there is'nt so much information and pictures about this Mino Tetsupo type.

Cher Fromaes,

 

1. You can find some description of them in English on page 12 of Sugawa San's book. In fact the gun has the same red velvet background as the one you posted yesterday, so it could be the same gun.

The short story can be found on his website here: http://japaneseweapons.com/hinawajyu/shurui/english.htm

 

In Book II from pages 50-60 there is a detailed account of Seki guns, but in Japanese.

 

2. Sawada San has written in some detail in his book, about Yonezawa on page 86, and on pages 102-107 about the closely-related Seki (Mino) guns, but again in Japanese.

Dear Bugyotsuji,

Again many thanks for your precious help .

I can notice that  the SEKI type is more like mine with a shorter “dai”,also the shape from the “Karakuri” is different  the pictures are not so good but you could see that the Seki “Karakuri”  looks more similar too.

I would be interested to find better pictures to see more examples ? but based on this photos the Seki seems to be the good model.

I have remove the barrel but unfortunately there is not any more marks.
