Hi Jean Luc!!! Great to hear from you again. Ohhhhh, that is a wonderful looking Spanish musket. I'm drooling.... I sent your photos to a fellow collector friend so he can enjoy. Thanks for posting. Rick.

By the way, I have not shot the Sind Rifle yet, but will this Spring. The bore is now clean. Just have not had time to get the lock adjusted yet.

I'll keep you posted.

Hi Jean-Luc,

For Central and Northern Europe, your military musket could be dated to the 1740's but as it is Spanish it might well be as late as the 1780's.

Best,
Michael
