MATCHLOCK MUSKET FOR ID

I saw a photograph of this type of gun being held by a native in an old photograph. I believe the caption said it was Ceylonese. Generally a culture southeast of India's eastern seaboard if not from that nation specifically.

Salaams Ibrahiim, I am of no opinion regarding his long gun .

I was simply providing some fodder for thought .

If Malay, or Sinhalese it is conservatively decorated compared to the other examples .

Salaams Rick ~ I agree. However I couldnt get to the answer as your references didn't quite finish the issue..What we have is a Portuguese system injected/adopted into the far eastern style and modified by different countries therein. Someone out there will be able to stick the tail on the donkey no doubt.

Salaams Cerjak ~ I thoroughly enjoyed going through the excellent reference and noted that the weapon is probably Dai Viet 18/19 C according to Thuong Luong at your reference. Though this is a broad and varied subject I believe you have solved the issue.
