It's a cheap copy of a .69 Tower flintlock smoothbore. Japan imported them by the thousands in the 70's. Dixie Gun Works used to sell them for I think 49.00 in 72. The frizzens are soft and don't spark well. Dixie said in their catalog for 10.00 more they'd tune the locks to make them spark. If the lock throws a good shower of sparks have fun with it, if it doesn't it will make a nice display.
