Description:
Antique BARBARY COAST Snaphaunce Musket
Unique North African Berber Flintlock Musket
Here we present an antique Kabyle Snaphaunce Musket (also called moukalla), made circa 1800 in the Barbary Coast region of North Africa. The Barbary Coast was home to much upheaval, as many of the various kingdoms that made it up were member states of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Pirates found their safe havens on the coast and raided the Mediterranean Sea and taking slaves. The slave trade was another unsavory reality of the northern coast of North Africa. In fact, piracy and the taking of European and American slaves came to be so great a problem at various points over the centuries that nations like Spain and even the U.S. took military action—Spain in the 1730s and America in 1805.
The snaphaunce lock was one of the earliest flintlock systems. These types of locks were used with this style of musket in Africa for a very long period, one source stating from the 17th through the 20th century.
This musket features engraved barrel bands and barrel. The lock is very large. The butt stock is uniquely segmented in design. The overall condition is good. The metal parts have a gray patina. The stock is in fairly good condition. The action is quite stiff and is effectively inoperable.
