The crest and the virtue

Tokugawa Ieyasu was not the most brilliant commander of his age and did not need to be. He outlasted the men who were. The shogunate he founded in 1603 held for more than two and a half centuries — the longest peace in Japanese history.

The Maru ni Mitsuba Aoi, three hollyhock leaves in a ring, became the most recognized crest in Japan precisely because the house behind it did not fall. It stands for patience, order and legitimacy: the win measured in decades rather than in seconds, and the position held rather than the charge made.

Tokugawa is the gold edition of the series, and is offered in gold only. Gold titanium nitride barrels, gold plate throughout, and 14K maki gold crests laid by hand into Brazilian cherry. There is no nickel Tokugawa.

One treatment · three rifles

The Tokugawa Edition is offered in one treatment. Where the Maruni runs nickel and stainless throughout, this one runs gold — gold titanium nitride barrels, gold plated port covers, controls and takedown pins, and 14K maki gold crests laid by hand into Brazilian cherry. There is no nickel Tokugawa. The three rifles below are that one treatment; what separates them is the gas length, the menpō and what ships in the case.

The firearms
3 firearms · gold plated
Every firearm in this edition is photographed on both sides and published as an inspection page you can zoom to 8×. The serial is masked; manufacturer and address rollmarks are left exactly as struck and nothing else is retouched. Each is finished by hand, so no two are identical.
