Here we present an antique Kabyle Snaphaunce Musket, made circa early 1800s in 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, as the trigger return spring is weak and the hammer will not cock. The bore is good for its age. The many ornate barrel bands remain tight. The stock is decorated nicely with brass tacks.

Barrel is 50 inches.
Caliber: .50
Overall condition as seen in photos.
