Hi estcrh,

Thank you for your comment ,It is still not clear for me ,could you tell me which are the differences between this 2 types in my eyes and based only on the following pictures it seems to be the same ?
I will try to remove the barrel to see if there is a signature.

From Nihonto forum member's I had this translation :
The numbers say 壬申 802.
This gun barrel was recorded in one of the Meiji general registration round-ups starting in 1873.
Probably the famous first one in 1873, as that was a Jinshin 壬申 year.

新治懸　Niihari Ken, the old/extinct name for an area straddling Ibaraki and Chiba.
