1700s Antique MUGHAL MATCHLOCK Smooth Bore MUSKET

Indian Muzzle Loader with Calligraphy on Breech

Here we present an antique Matchlock Smooth Bore Musket, made circa the 18th century in the Mughal Empire of India. Emperor Akbar the Great was the Mughal ruler during the late half of the 16th Century. He was known for his many accomplishments, among which was the expansion of his empire. He was a great leader and military commander, but he also benefitted by adopting and developing firearms technology. Production and use of matchlock firearms greatly increased under his guidance, giving him an enormous advantage over those he would conquer. The Mughal Empire would finally succumb to the British in 1858. The matchlock would see its apex from the late 16th Century to about the mid-18th Century.

This specimen features a very long, smooth bored barrel. The breech is marked with calligraphy. Indian export markings are located on the right side of the barrel and are quite old.

This example is in good condition. The metal surfaces have a nice patina. The stock has been “V” cut just ahead of the breech. Joining these two pieces back together will present no issue. The bore is in good condition. The action is very simple and functional.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
