Early 19 century matchlock teppo with Tokugawa mon

Hi Cerjak.

Nice looking Teppo. Yes, too bad about the broken serpentine.
As Estcrh mentions, if there are any marks it is usually on the botton of the barrel/plug. And in my case, there was an additional mark on the inside of the stock and a small piece of linen with maybe an inspector's mark.
There are probably similar marks/dates on the bottom of your barrel.
