Anyone can identify this Teppo?

Hi all, I just acquired an antique Teppo.  It looks like an Edo period Teppo for me, but I can't recognize more details. If anyone can identify it?

What would you like to know about it?

The butt is cut flat which could be an indication of Kunitomo manufacture, and possibly Tazuké-Ryū school of gunnery. I suspect the barrel and stock have been cut short at some time. The No.3 underneath suggests it was the third gun in a batch/order.

The bisen breech screw looks good. Some of the fitments have been altered or are missing.

A nice project ahead!?!?

PS I have tried five times to erase the doubled image but it keeps restoring it. Apologies.

Thanks! I also assume this may related to Tazuke-Ryu. But could it be an indication of Hino manufacture?

It looks like this one

Yes, Hino nearby is also possible. They were in competition with each other for similar customers.

The engravings and decorative metalwork can sometimes distinguish the two.
