Description:
Imperial British AFGHAN JEZAIL Flintlock Musket
With Hand Engraved Brown Bess Lock & Long Barrel
Here we present an antique Afghan Jezail Flintlock Musket with a British Brown Bess Lock, made circa 1800-1840s. Such weapons were used against the British in the Anglo-Afghan Wars by extremely capable Afghan warriors. As an officer described from the First Anglo-Afghan War:
“Afghan snipers were expert marksmen and their juzzails fired roughened bullets, long iron nails or even pebbles over a range of some 250 metres. The Afghans could fling the large rifles across their shoulders as if they were feathers and spring nimbly from rock to rock.”
The distinct shape of the stock and the length of the barrel is for convenience of shooting and loading from the back of an animal. One could lower the butt all the way to the ground and have easy access to the muzzle for loading. The 54-inch long barrel is fastened by 18 hammered barrel bands. The lock is hand engraved with a lion. The front sight is a small bead. The rear sight is a sturdy peep sight as is customary on the type.
This example is in very good condition. The metal has a gray patina. The markings are clear. The stock shows quite a bit of wear, with a bit of slivering opposite the lock. The bore is smooth and untouched. The action is functional. Here is an extremely unique piece for your collection.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 54 inches in length.
Caliber: .65 with a slight flare at the muzzle
