Hi Patsy57
very nice Afghan Jezail flintlock, very clean made in the Sind area around Pakistan and Afghanistan - Late 18th century - may be the flintlock system could be imported (English ?) a focus image of the coin embedded, could might be give a chance for a translation  à + Dom |

OK now my interest is really peaked. What other pics would you guys like to see? Is there anyway to really bring out the Damascus barrel without hurting the firearm?
Who can I get to translate the medallion? What is the value of something like this? How do we know this is from the Sind area? |

I'm sorry but appraisals are not publicly given on this forum .
Perhaps someone might offer a valuation via Private Message .

Plus, either I'm missing something (I'm totally out of my area, here), the pics are inverted, or the gun is made for a left-handed shooter...

Not looking for an appraisal just some kind of value but I understand.
The Jezail is a left hand version. |

Dom, What books do you suggest looking into that speak about the Afghan Jezail or the Sindh jezail? Any insight is greatly appreciated.
