Bonjour,
Never really easy to judge a Jezaïl. The fancy way they use to adorn the stock let us think (after a cleaning) that we face a tourist model.... In fact, they are great craftmen, the John Galliano of firearms and they are genious to produce a musket with a patchwork of components. Most of the time, only the stock is really afghan. Barrels and stocks used to be imported from Persia, but remember they collect a vasr spoils of war after the 3 Anglo-afghan wars. For the moment, only the Jezaïl of Sind appears to me as a locally fully-made musquet.

Have a glance to a part of a study to come on my website in french (I am sorry, no one perfect).

Don't hesitate to ask me details if you need it.
May i ask you your opinion on:

- the pattern of the barrel of Aghan1 - i guess an old one - maybe indian or persan???
- Ward, will you please see the arabic ou persian inscription on the Barrel of Afghan.

Thanks and see You.
Louis-Pierre
