18th century
Description

Mughal Empire Indian with122cm (48") Barrel.

They were found mostly in the Mughal-influenced Northern and Central India. Emperor Akbar the Great was the Mughal ruler during the late half of the 16th Century. He was known for his many accomplishments, among which was the expansion of his empire. He was a great leader and military commander, but he also benefitted by adopting and developing firearms technology. Production and use of matchlock firearms greatly increased under his guidance, giving him an enormous advantage over those he would conquer. The Mughal Empire would finally succumb to the British in 1858. The matchlock would see its apex from the late 16th Century to about the late -18th Century.

The gun is a type of smoothbore firearm used in the 16th through 18th centuries by defending forces to break the advance of enemy troops.

This sort of weapon may also be found described as an amusette, rampart gun, or Hackbut, a name originally given to early medieval hand cannon.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Jezail is a handcrafted long gun traditionally produced in the North-West Frontier, Afghanistan, and northern India during the 18th and 19th centuries. These firearms are characterised by their elongated smoothbore or rifled barrels and distinctive deeply curved stock, designed for firing from horseback, camel, or elevated defensive positions.

These muskets were typically constructed using hand-forged iron or steel barrels fitted to native hardwood stocks, such as walnut or teak. Metallic structural and decorative components often utilised engraved brass, steel, or silver bindings along the length of the barrel.

Authentic period examples display hand-hammered iron lock mechanisms, hand-engraved metal bindings, and a characteristic curved stock tailored for regional marksmanship. Look for natural wear patterns on the wood and patina on the brass barrel straps consistent with historical age and use.

In contemporary or classic spaces, antique long guns are frequently wall-mounted as sculptural focal points above a fireplace mantelpiece, within a study, or across a library wall. Custom display brackets or framed shadow boxes are commonly used to highlight the silhouetted form safely.

Keep the item in a climate-controlled environment with stable humidity to prevent wood movement and metal corrosion. Apply a thin coat of microcrystalline wax to both timber and metal surfaces to protect against dust, fingerprints, and oxidisation without altering the natural patina.
