Hello, I recently bought this musket.
Elgood describes a similar as "Dalmatian" / page180 / The form is identical to ,,Džeferdar " There is the best barrel I've ever seen. What is your opinion ? Thank you. |

I think the eagle mark on the lockplate could be the sign of the Moskau Arsenal ca. 1770

Hi Ivo
WOW!! Nice find. Congratulations. A very interesting musket. Would like to see more pics if you have a chance. Butt plate, left side of gun, wrist area, etc. Yes, the butt stock is exactly like the so called Dzeferdar style muskets made at the many gun shops in the Balkans. The style of butt stock actually derives from Italian style long guns from the late 17th to early 18th Century. The lock has that Germanic style that was popular during the third and fourth quarters of the 18th Century, and appears to be a European export lock. Does not look like a locally made copy. And the barrel is really cool !!! Appears engraved/chiseled it's entire length. Again, a really neat gun. Rick Last edited by rickystl; 13th June 2018 at 09:59 PM. |

Rick said everything...
I'm not surprised by the barrel, the barrels on these guns are always cool. I'm more surprised by the lock... I would place your gun in the 18th c. |
