Is the author's name by chance acrtulayy SHIGEO SUGAWA???? If so, then I
have it. It is well worth having for anyone interested in
teppo/tanegashima/hinawaju as it is in English. Many excellent colour
photos and a very interesting section on accoutrements.
Barry Thomas.
PS: I have just received from a friend a copy of a Japanese book on
firearms. Very comprehensive, some remarkable photos, many gunsmith mei.
Anyone interested in the details please mail me off line. I've been trying
to compile a list of my (small) firearm references for those interested so
anyone interested in that please also email me off line.
