Trigger mechanism works properly, stock is broken, tail part is missing

Is the trigger/match holder under spring tension?

Or does the weight of the trigger cause the match holder to go up again?

AKA: Gravity.

Thanks.

trigger under spring tension
you pull on the trigger and match holder goes down, let trigger go and spring lifts match holder

Looks like a genuine Japanese Matchlock to me
Make someone who fancies matchlocks a nice restoration project at a reasonable price.

That is a Toradar, with a broken butt stock.

A Toradar is a South Asian matchlock primarily found in the Mughal Empire, dating from the 16th century. It was a preferred firearm in India well until the mid-19th century because of its simple and cheap design.

Unfortunately they can also be bought quite cheaply too …
