Interesting articles Gentlemen thank you.
I've seen plenty of the other types (non camel-gun) as there is a rather well known seller in the UK who has had rather a lot of these 'military' types for many years now.
In fact an acquaintence who I regularly see at antiques fairs, occasionally gets one of these, an Enfield not too long ago actually.
I've tried to tell him but he wont hear it. Its a bit of a worry as technically any functional muzzle loader recently made is a licenced firearm in the Uk and having one without a black powder certificate could land you in jail.

I must admit, I hadn't made any connection between these and the Jezails, because as far as I knew, all the 'fake' stuff was coming from India.

Ward.
A Broomhandle, really?
Thats incredible! Does it fire?
I mean thats a gun that was quite an advanced machine, even by todays standards! 400m accuracy on the standard barrel, all interlocking parts and pins, the only screws the ones holding the grips on.
Whats the quality like?
Any chance of a snap of it to admire?

Regards
Gene
