Oriental musket with kabyle snaphaunce lock for id.
This musket has a typical kabyle lock ,the full stock is covered with panels of bone . I have never saw before an oriental gun of similar shape .
May be rick could tell me more about this well decorated gun ? Any comment on it would be welcome. Best CERJAK |

Hi,
I have seen this one. Did you buy it??? For me it's a very good one, not Algerian/Kabyle but from Morocco. Only the trigger looks Algerian to me. I've seen similar before, I would say end of 19th or even beginning of 20th c. Kubur |

Yes I Bought it. If you have a picture for a musket with this similar shape ,please post it here. I already spend a lot of times looking on George Cameron Stone's and Elgood books etc.. but this not found similar exemplar. I have many morrocan riffles but no one like this one ,I aggree that the snaphaunce lock is morrocan but I still not sure that the full gun has the same origine . Best Cerjak |

Hi Cerjak,
I will post some Moroccan examples later. The trigger guard is also very similar to Sardinian flintlocks. But it's true that this model is not very common. Best, Kubur |
