FLINTLOCK GUN WITH CHRISTIAN 7 MARK FOR ID

Cerjak · 18th March 2012, 06:58 PM

Here some pics from Danish Gun and pistol .
The pistol had been already post and I have understood that it was a Danish mod 1772 but for the gun I still don't know the exact model.
On the barrel there is one C7 and VB mark.
The stock is in perfect condition made in a very heavy and hard wood,there is some marks on in but very hard to read one n°7 and ???
Any comment on it will be welcome

I do not know the exact model either but both stocks are clearly of beechwood, which was the characteristic type of wood used for Central and North European military guns from the 17th to the 19th c.

Best,

Yes Michael it is beechwood and with this wood as you can see the stock could cross 2 more centuries without any problem
