MUGHAL Long Barreled MATCHLOCK Smooth Bore Musket
Description: MUGHAL Long Barreled MATCHLOCK Smooth Bore Musket Indian Muzzle Loader with Calligraphy over the Breech Here we present an antique Matchlock Smooth Bore Musket, made circa the 19th century in the Mughal Empire of India. Emperor Akbar the Great was the Mughal ruler during the late half of the 16th Century. He was known for his many accomplishments, among which was the expansion of his empire. He was a great leader and military commander, but he also benefitted by adopting and developing firearms technology. Production and use of matchlock firearms greatly increased under his guidance, giving him an enormous advantage over those he would conquer. The Mughal Empire would finally succumb to the British in 1858. The matchlock would see its apex from the late 16th Century to about the mid-18th Century. This specimen features a very long, smooth bored barrel. The muzzle is nicely contoured with a flare at the end. The breech is marked with calligraphy. The front sight is a rounded post and the rear sight is open with a round aperture toward the bottom, which creates a good sight picture. The stock is quite plainly hewn in the fashion of the place and period, in all likelihood for a foot soldier, but the grain of the butt stock has some stripe to it. This example is in good condition. The metal surfaces have a nice patina. The stock is in good shape, with a stable repair near the second barrel band. The bore is in good condition. The action is very simple and functional. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 46-5/8 inches in length. Caliber: .54 Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1500 #10451 SOLD Antique: Yes |
