This old French musket belonged to my father originally from that country.
Probably from late 1700's....with intricately carved stock (one side carving
of a dragon, the other carving of a man and dog). Likely related to a
certificate of leave - also in my possession - dated 1791, from the 16th
Regiment of The Dragons (of Orleans, France). No mfr. markings. Would
love to learn more, any information appreciated. Thanks !
