Very small matchlock, any ideas?

Hate to be argumentative guys, but at 24CM/9 1/2", I think this would be considered a pistol. Many pistols, don't have pronounced curves to the stock. Also, carbines can be fired from the shoulder.

LOL, I hadn't realised just HOW SMALL it is.
I guess as it could certainly be fired one handed at that size we can call it a pistol?

Hi Trench. WOW!! 9 1/2" is really small. Yes, more pistol size. I've seen Japanese matchlock pistol variations, but this is the first Toridor I've ever seen. Never even seen a picture of one. What a great find. I'm envious.

Rick.
