Thanks to Sheepherder (Rich) who got in touch with a Japanese expert ( I sent Rich a few pictures) who stated " It is a typical last ditch militarized shot gun made up as they attempted to gather up weapons and prepare for the expected US invasion. Probably used for guard duty to free up a rifle for front line duty." Also she said the writing is numbers. She also stated she did not have one but had seen a couple.
So Don Voight is right again. Thanks. Good one Ed. I have looked at hundreds of Japanese weapons but had never seen a double barrel with a bayonet. Thanks guy's for your efforts. Bill
