Featured in this lot we have a 1810 Middle Eastern flint lock camel musket inlayed with brass and mother of pearl and chambered in .54 caliber. The musket displays a 40 1/2" long round heavy iron barrel with faired muzzle and etched / carved accents, hardwood stock, flintlock action, and inlayed mother of pearl and brass. The piece shows a typical pattern hardwood stock having the butt stock area curving drastically. The barrel is secured to the stock with six barrels bands that are constructed of brass. The rifle shows wonderful flintlock lock plate stamped with a lion design and "1810". The stock is inlayed with numerous carved geometric pieces of mother of pearl and brass. The hammer is stuck and would need some work to be operational. The overall gun shows a rich mellow and dark patina which would lend to its early age. These rifles would have been used in Middle Eastern countries such as Turkey and Afghanistan while on camel and horse back. No Serial Number. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
