a .75 caliber Indian Matchlock Toradar

Description:
Approx ¾ Cal | 57" Multi-Brass Banded Barrel & Gold Decoration | Wooden Shipping Crate

The Toradar represents a significant chapter in South Asian arms history, serving as the primary matchlock musket throughout India from the sixteenth century well into the nineteenth century. Based on early European designs, these robust firearms remained a favored choice for their reliability and distinctive aesthetic, reflecting the enduring legacy of Indian craftsmanship during the Raj period.

This specific S58 Indian Matchlock features a remarkably long 57-inch barrel of approximately ¾ caliber and is adorned with elegant gold floral decorations and traditional multi-brass banding. Presented in good honest condition, the wood stock retains its classic straight profile and pentagonal butt, though the barrel-to-stock interface is currently supported by cable ties to protect the fragile assembly.

The firearm is accompanied by a new wooden shipping crate padded with foam to ensure its preservation during transit. Given its historical nature and internal bore wear, this piece is intended as an exceptional display item for the serious collector of early firearms.
