Description:
COLONIAL AFRICAN BRITISH Trade Flintlock Musket
Smoothbore Military Musket Circa 1900
Here we present an antique British-African Trade Flintlock Military Musket, made circa the late-18th/early-19th Century in Birmingham, England. This musket would have been made for export to the British colonies in Africa around the turn of the century. Yes, even circa 1900 flintlocks were still in demand in some places throughout the world. The British, prolific gun makers, traders, and colonizers, would have sold, traded or given these to their allies in a given region. Care was usually taken to only arm the natives with obsolescent equipment so that in the case an ally became a hostile, the British would still have an advantage.
The left side of the barrel has British Birmingham proof marks. The top of the butt plate tang is unit marked “17.D.A.R./416.”
The overall condition is very good. The metal surfaces are dark with age. The markings are clear. The stock is in great shape. The bore is smooth and dark. The action on this musket is excellent. Here is a very interesting piece of British and African history!
