This video showcases a rare Japanese 3-barrel palanquin swivel-breech pistol, a unique self-defense firearm from the Edo period. Resembling a tanegashima musket in design but built for personal protection, it features three smoothbore barrels, each with its own sights and priming pan. The pistol is estimated to be around .40 caliber and its exact manufacturing date is difficult to pinpoint due to the slow evolution of Japanese firearm design between the 1600s and 1800s. The video also links to resources for more firearms history content.
