ORNATE AFGHAN JEZAIL Anglo-Afghan War FLINTLOCK
Description: ORNATE AFGHAN JEZAIL Anglo-Afghan War FLINTLOCK Inlaid with Mother of Pearl Here we present an antique Afghan Jezail Flintlock Musket, made circa the early 1800s. The jezail is a very uniquely stocked weapon. The curved club stock is speculated as being a way to carry and fire the weapon from the back of a moving horse or camel. Many of these were made by salvaging British muskets’ locks and barrels during the Anglo-Afghan War. The remnant of a British lion is visible on this lock. Some of these are quite beautifully adorned like this one with mother of pearl inlays. To quote the book Tools of war: History of Weapons in Early Modern Times: “Afghan snipers were expert marksmen and their juzzails fired roughened bullets, long iron nails or even pebbles over a range of some 250 metres. The Afghans could fling the large rifles across their shoulders as if they were feathers and spring nimbly from rock to rock. The loved to decorate their rifles”. The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces have a dark patina. The mother of pearl inlay is about 95% intact. The bore is smooth and dusty. The action is still functional. Though this piece is past its days of fighting Imperialists, it will still represent its country well two centuries later. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 49-3/4 inches. Caliber: .60 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 $1200 #7436 SOLD Antique: Yes |
