An Indian Matchlock Toradar for sale
 

The big sturdy version, from the 18th century; part of a Maharaja arsenal, with a Raj inventory number #1601 on the stock.
With an Hindy inscription, including serial number # 2022 and the word "straight".
The damascened steel barrel is 1,22 mt. (48") long, with typical muzzle.
Band fixation from barrel to stock needing some reinforcement, in case of intense handling, which is nothing unusual with these ancient systems; remember this musket weighs 4,8 kgs (11 pounds).
Price 500 Euros or 665 US Dollars, shipped anywhere.

I have received two emails from the same collector, asking details about this Torador and the other one i am also offering in this swap forum.
I understand his interest is not on the acquisition of these items, but only to acquire further information on this type weapons.
It happens that i made some wrong moves with my webmail parameters (i was not at home with my usual laptop and email acount), and inadvertly erased the two emails.
I expect this person reads this post and resends the said emails; i will be glad to help, if i can.

Sold, thanks
