They were also advertised in gun magazines in the way back as decorators.
A gun much like it appears in a 1958 catalog I have identified as a"Flintlock Musket from India" Smooth bore .54 caliber.
The guns identified as north african in that catalog all have straighter butt stocks.
The type of gun pictured here that is shown has far mor silver decoration and sold for $60 in 1958. Lock was English made.
Want to cry? Brown Bess Muskets and even original Baker Rifles sold for around $60 in that catalog.
