Hi All,
A friend of mine acquired this and wanted some help with ID and age. My feeling is this is not too old but I could be off the mark. Could we get the experts to comment here on age, style etc? The photos are not great and I've asked my friend to send more snaps. Regards, Bhushan |

It is not a percussion lock, but rather is made to resemble a flintlock. The extremely short jaws of the cock and the overall crudeness of workmanship suggest that it is probably a decorative piece rather than a functioning firearm. Better photos of the lock and the pan would show whether the barrel even has a touch hole.
