Very interesting. Especially the unique trigger.

Yes, and the short leather tab is attached to the striker. You pull it backwards to cock the gun.

Re: Japanese WWII Line Thrower
I am aware that a Japanese collector book says that this is a line thrower but I believe it to be a flare projector. The design does not support the recoil obtained by the launching the line and projecticle.
Re: Japanese WWII Line Thrower
Hello, I do not have the book.
Does it have a photo of the projectile or projectiles that it can shoot ??
Some line throwers are quite small as the projectile may be small, or rocket assisted as in the case of the Schermuly's.

The pistol was pictured in one of the books published by Banzai publications. There was no picture of cartridges as I remember. I did not buy the book as is not in my area of interest.
I understand re: rocket launched munitions but doubt that Japan was using them in WWIIl.
I have a Japanese Navy line thrower based on the Martini action and fitted with an iron buttstock to bring the weight of the piece up to a point where the recoil can be handled. It also came with a small harpoon for frest fish.

Re: Japanese WWII Line Thrower
If the line thrower was owned by Jerry Price, that is the one I own now. If not, I am curious who owned it, and is it one of the 3 I know of.
