This design removed the need to lower by hand a lit match into the weapon's flash pan and made it possible to have both hands free to keep a firm grip on the weapon at the moment of firing and more importantly, to keep both eyes on the target. These weapons were prized by Native Warriors, and heavily personalised with ornate decoration. This is a C1790 Indian matchlock musket as used against British troops on the North West Frontier. It has a 45 ¼” long barrel with flared muzzle (approx. 22 bore) and measures a massive 5’ 5 ¼” overall length. The barrel has a ‘v’ notch block rear sight. The bore has typical heavy residue and staining consistent with age & use. It has a wood stock fully wrapped with hand crafted plates of Mother Of Pearl.

The barrel is numbered ‘96’ and the underside of the stock has later hand applied ink numbers ‘1016’ most likely an armoury number.
