French Flintlock Martial Naval Musketoon

Description:
About .69/.70 cal, 31 1/2” barrel with an oxidized bore. This musket appears to be original flint with metal surfaces mostly toned to a mix of gunmetal and gray-brown patina showing some scattered light pitting and oxidation. The cock may be an antique replacement as it shows more pitting overall than the other components. The lock is unmarked beyond a small crown proof and the barrel with a large “TC 82” left of breech. The walnut stock rates good showing moderate wear at the tip which has a number of repaired cracks and chips resulting in the front band being rather ill-fitting. There are some other scattered dings and handling marks, the left side of the buttstock with concave cheekpiece along with a faded script cartouche on the right and “TC” stamp on the left. A replacement brass-tipped iron ramrod is present and the lock is crisp and seems to function normally.These were used by French naval Marines up in the ship's rigging to snipe at a naval oponnents deck and tryimng to take out the lead gunner or ships captian.
When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith  before  shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost.   We don’t have a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns  affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of  older guns If you attempt to buy,  you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed.  Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.  I’m easy to get along with. Thank You
