Good Morning!

Here are some photos of my Swedish flintlock musket.

This muscet is found here in Finland from "Savo-area" where border there between Sweden and Russia was locatet on those days. And Finland was part of Sweden. Whole border was about 1000km long-so not very easy to keep it on eye...

Then started Napolean wars and battle-area against Sweden and Russia was here in Finland .This gun was one of "Savo Prigade" muscet. War battled years 1808-09 and Swedish (Finnish) army loss that war and Finland came part of Russia.

Muscet is modell 1799 if I'm right (I got one older 1747 model with this,but it is a bit modified one). Caliber is about 18,5mm and lenght of muscet is ca. 145cm. And is heavy...

One example of Finnish history...

regards Markku
