An excellent condition signed Sakai long gun. No corrosion on the flash pan and the bore looks excellent. Lock mechanism and trigger assembly work perfectly, with no issues.

Looks like a nice example in good condition, Dan, and a rare bonus to have a date on it!

Had a few offers of trade, but nothing I was interested in. Open to trade or cash offers.

Barrel is 39" long (99cm)

Bore is .480" (12.19mm)

Price drop $2000 or best reasonable offer.

I 100% feel that this teppo is ready to fire. Lock mechanism is 100% functionable and bore is in good shape. Flash pan is not rusted, pitted, or corroded. A .460" ball with a .010-.015" patch and  35-40 grains of powder would bring this to life. I will also include match material for display/use.
