    Looking to try date to this musket, as the markings are indistinct apart from the crown engraving it's 75 cal, wooden ramrod, is it an Indian Trader?

    Unfortunately, no provenance, its from an auction of a batch of guns, all in pretty poor rusted up condition here in the Scottish borders, as I've said before, I'm only after the lock, it does in my opinion look very old, you o' the guys was saying 1750's, I though it was queen Anne period at...

    Thanks again, for the sound advice, great knowledge, like I said earlier I only want it for the lock for a rebuild, its less expensive than buying a seperate original lock, also looking at this Jezail, or Afghan long gun, its using a captured or traded British East India Lock, probably from the...

    Nice to hear your thoughts on the lock, what exactly gives it away as a 1755 lock, keen to learn. Many thanks for your help.

    Looking to try date to this musket, as the markings are indistinct apart from the crown engraving it's 75 cal, wooden ramrod, is it an Indian Trader?

    Many thanks on your opinions, I still think it is a trade musket, it has a Brown Bess standard India pattern lock certainly, but the stock is something else, a Bessy lookalike, the butt is in the right place with a nice comb and wrist, but the swell is out of sync with a Bessy, plus the stock is...
