[Petroskoi]

Hi ya all!

I got this beautiful musket to my collection, but i have no any idea of it: maker, year etc.

Could someone help?

Only markings i have found from the gun, can be seen on the last picture...

Hi,
Lovely piece! It's not realy my field, but looks like a very well used and repaired Enfield musket (1850s). Try posting it in the weapons section of:
Victorian Wars Forum • Index page
They have been very helpful to me in the past.
cheers, jim.

not too sure on the make but it looks like it was originally a flint lock musket that was converted to a precution lock.....alot of flintlocks were converted like this

looking at the wide brass barrel bands to me it looks french

[Berthier92]

looks a bit like a brown bess or indian pattern Enfield

I've had a search on the net, and I'm pretty sure it is Swedish.

I was going by the large screw head in front of the trigger
guard, the straight trigger, and the rectangular sideplate
which are all quite distinctive and unusual.

Note the similarities - especially stamps/carving
near the butt on this one in the link:

Retting.com - Swedish M/1815/49 Percussion Musket



A very cool piece.........!

Swedish looks pretty convincing to me. It's definately not an Enfield.

[Walkwolf]

I thought it might be one at first, looking at the comb/cheek rest,
but the hardware and design looked very different
compared to any Enfield.

Thanks you so much for the info!

Definitely it has lot's of similarities with that Swedish made musket, now I know what direction I have to put my search...

[Walkwolf]

You will not have to search very far. The more I think about it,
the more I'm convinced it is indeed a Swedish piece
from the middle 1800's.........!

Not sure what it started as but it was a flint. The percussion nipple place directly into the barrel was the quick way to do it. In the US that is called a Belgin conversion.
