VERY LONG Antique Indian TORADAR MATCHLOCK RIFLED Musket
Mughal Empire Indian with LONG 48-1/4 Inch Barrel
Here we present an antique Indian Toradar Matchlock Rifled Musket. They were found mostly in the Mughal-influenced Northern and Central India. Emperor Akbar the Great was the Mughal ruler during the late half of the 16th Century. He was known for his many accomplishments, among which was the expansion of his empire. He was a great leader and military commander, but he also benefitted by adopting and developing firearms technology. Production and use of matchlock firearms greatly increased under his guidance, giving him an enormous advantage over those he would conquer. The Mughal Empire would finally succumb to the British in 1858. The matchlock would see its apex from the late 16th Century to about the mid-18th Century.
The overall condition is good. Damascus pattern is clear on the barrel. God embellishments around the breech and the muzzle. The action is functional. The bore is dark, smooth and untouched. The stock shows use and remains solid. There is a duffle cut under the fourth barrel band from the front. The number “1849” is stamped on the stock and could possibly be a date.
