A BANGING GOOD TANTÔ

A BANGING GOOD TANTÔ
10.14.17 admin@nihonto

This is an extremely rare and interesting item.  When worn in the obi, it appears to be an ordinary tantô.  When unsheathed, however, it is revealed to be a pistol.  This is a hidden pistol that was muzzle loaded and fired with a “pill” of fulminate of mercury.  It dates to the 19th century.

I REALLY GET A BANG OUT OF THIS ONE!!!!
