Description:
BARBARY COAST/MEDITERRANEAN Antique KABYLE Snaphaunce FLINTLOCK Musket
Unique North African SILVER ACCENTED Musket
Here we present an antique Kabyle Snaphaunce Musket, 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 it was comprised of, were member states of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Pirates found their safe havens on the coast and raided the Mediterranean Sea 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 a great a problem. At various points over the centuries nations like Spain and 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.
The overall condition is good. The action does not function properly. The bore is good. The stock is ornately decorated with multiple materials ranging from ivory, glass beads, brass, and iron. Each barrel band is engraved with intricate designs. From end to end, we have quite the stunning piece!
