The musket movement engraved with foliage centered on an oval engraved tang.
A hardwood intricately carved stock with brass and mother-of-pearl inlay on the ''fish-tail'' butt and opposite the lock.
The barrel secured with woven wire.
In my opinion the Jezail is in excellent condition, taking in into account it''s over two hundred year age, please look at the photos to judge for yourself.
The Jezail uses the unusual Sind shaped stock, which made the gun easier to fire from camel or horseback.
They were hand made and regarded as a very personal weapons, and designs and finish varied, often tailored to individuals requirements.
This Jezail has a highly decorative finish. It can be owned without any form of license.
Dimensions (approximately) :-
Overall length 140cm long
