TACK DECORATED Antique NATIVE AMERICAN Flintlock Belgian TRADE MUSKET
Early 19th Century with RAWHIDE BARREL BANDS
Here we present an antique Tack Decorated Native American style Flintlock Long Rifle, made circa the 1820-30s in Liege, Belgium. The Early American and European countries inhabiting the frontier or remote outposts had to be very careful to sell only obsolescent firearms to the natives so that they could maintain the upper hand should tensions rise. Rifle manufacture in the early-to-mid 19th Century was rapidly changing over from thousands of craftsman all over the United States and on the Frontier making and selling their wares, to the large factories as time passed with standardized assembly lines and modern manufacturing techniques. Many makers’ names of these types of rifles have been lost over time.
Many trade guns were shortened when their barrels were damaged or to make them more agile on horseback or in the woods. They were used from the colonial era and into the early 20th century and were the main firearms used by Native Americans through much of American history, including during the American Revolution, Custer's Last Stand, and the late 19th century Indian Wars.
The overall condition is fine. Gray patina on the original finish. The stock is in fine shape. Animal rawhides are in good condition. The top portion on the buttplate is missing. The action functions with the hammer spring being a little weak.
