In the spirit of one-upmanship, try beating that BaZZa!

Good one Thomas.  The shock for me is seeing the cover I think I have a copy somewhere in my too-voluminous holdings.  Browsing I see an Echizen Nobuyoshi - I have one - and other nice things.  Thanks for the follow-up one-up!!

Did BaZZa say old guns?  Well then, how about this!  Start at page 66 for the Japanese matchlocks.
