Swiss Flintlock

Hello All,

For your consideration, a Swiss flintlock of Belgian manufacture, with markings from Canton of Aargau.

Maybe an Ordonnanz 1817 type, looks similar to French 1777 types.

The modern miracle, if slightly wobbly, of Google Translate:

"Flintlock Ordonnanz 1817
An actual Ordonnanzgewehr 1817 does not exist. Around 1816, the guidelines were generously set in order to prevent any rearmament of the cantonal troops after the end of Napoleon's rule in the way. Under the name Ordonnanzgewehr 1817 you could find a variety of models. The most common was the French rifle 1777/1800, which acquired many cantons from France's holdings. The present rifle was made in 1824 and has a caliber of 18mm. With his naughty run, the accuracy was less than 100 meters. The big picture shows the flintlock (to the shot was in the cock a flint screwed, which struck at the pan against spark to the ignition)."
