Japanese Matchlock rifle. Converted approximately 1880 to a Murata bolt action system. This was probably done at Koishikawa Arsenal at Tokyo. At that time, the arsenal was converting French Chassepot using the same bolt system. Important addition to a Japanese rifle collection as it shows the transition of the Tanegashima (Samurai Matchlock) to the early conversion and a cartridge rifle for Emperor Meijis Japanese Army.
