    Repro made in the 1960's. Values run around $100-$150.

    CAUTION: Some of those Japanese "Tower" repros were determined to be UNSAFE to fire and were for display only. PLEASE have it thoroughly checked out by a QUALIFIED gunsmith before you attempt to shoot it!

    Totally agree with the assesment of Spider. Just wanted to make the observation that it appears it has been dry fired a bit from the flint marks on the frizzen, and lack of residue or pitting around the flash hole.

    I saw one similar to it that was manufactured with no breach plug. The rear of the barrel was completely empty. Scary to think of the results if someone tried to fire it.
