Colt M1822/54 conversion rifled musket

Manufactured c.1816-1820′s at the Harpers Ferry and Springfield arsenals as flintlock smoothbore muskets based on the Charleville Mle1777, bought and converted by Samuel Colt during the Crimean war - multiple serial numbers.
.69 ball, single shot caplock muzzle loader, leaf rear sight.
One of the rifles ordered by the Russians at the beginning of the Crimean war, provided by Colt’s 1854 patent caplock conversion.


 

Tanegashima musket

    Manufactured recently in Japan, based on the Japanese designs used c.1642-1854 - no serial number.
    .40 ball, matchlock, 42″ barrel, silver and brass inlays.
    Pretty but useless in a fight, a good sum up of Japan at the end of its isolation.


 

Nock pepperbox musket

    Manufactured by Henry Nock’s company in London c.~1800 - no serial number.
    .44 ball, smoothbore manually indexed six-barrel cluster, self-priming flintlock.
    A considerable upgrade on his 1779 seven-barreled volley gun, Nocks uses the revolving technology of American gunsmith Artemus Wheeler and adds to it a self-priming mechanism of his own design, which would later be the basis of Elisha Collier’s famous designs. This firearm would allow its user to fire a shot, lock the barrel cluster into its next position, cock the hammer, lower the frizzen and take another shot, up to six times in a row. It was a considerably faster rate of fire than any musket at the time.


 

Mle 1779 1st type Marine pistol

    Made by the Manufacture Royale de Tulle in France c.1779~86 - serial number 82.
    17,5mm/.69 caliber ball, flintlock, side belt hook, brass sight.
    That’s some weird sights.


 

East Asian percussion pistol

Converted from a flintlock gun c.1840′s, it sports a 71cm long smoothbore barrel with brass fittings and inlays.
That might actually be some kind of petronel rather than a pistol, handguns usually aren’t a full meter long.
