Did anybody here see such a gun with such a strange flintlock? There are no marks or stamps on it and the brass pan reminds me on locks of the Osmanic Empire

Hi
Most locks I have seen with Brass Pans have been French so this would be my guess have a google of 1777 French Flintlock rifle and you will see similar style regards Ken |

Bizarre !
It does have some 1777 looks indeed but, that whole lock design ![]() I assume the touch hole is on the first concavity, right ? . |

No, the touchhole is in the middle. Compare it with the lock of an osmanic pistol

"There are no marks or stamps on it and the brass pan..."
I'm not surprised. The fuzzy photos make it difficult to judge, but the cock appears to have been made up by bending sheet metal. And that makes it, in my eyes, a modern effort "in the style of...". Lockplate also looks like a bit of modern sheet metal, cock fixing screw also modern? It may include some original parts, but the lock assembly as a whole is IMHO not from the same period as the musket - which looks like a cut-down. All this is just my opinion. Better photos would help. |
