**MASSIVE**ORNATE**C1790 Indian North West Frontier Match Lock 22 Bore Musket Wrapped With Plates & Foliate Formations Of Mother Of Pearl & Ram Rod. Sn 22407 - 22407
The matchlock was the first mechanism, or "lock" invented to facilitate the firing of a hand-held firearm. This design removed the need to lower by hand a lit match into the weapon's flash pan and made it possible to have both hands free to keep a firm grip on the weapon at the moment of firing and more importantly, to keep both eyes on the target. These weapons were prized by Native Warriors, and heavily personalised with ornate decoration. This is a C1790 Indian matchlock musket as used against British troops on the North West Frontier. It has a 43 ¼” long barrel (approx. 28 bore) and measures a massive 5’ 3” overall length. The barrel has a blade fore sight. The bore has typical heavy residue and staining consistent with age & use. It has a wood stock fully wrapped with hand crafted plates & foliate formations of Mother Of Pearl (just a few plates along the edges of the barrel absent but does not detract from the attractiveness of this gun). The barrel has white metal wire barrel bands and typical wood block butt (old stable secure chipping to one edge). The barrel is numbered ‘106’. It has a metal bar press trigger on the underside of the stock which correctly moves the 'match holder' arm to the metal powder pan and it has its iron ram rod. The metal has even patina to be expected of a native Indian weapon of its age. As an antique matchlock musket no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. NB Due to length delivery of this matchlock will be UK only & by arrangement at cost. Sn 22407

**RARE** Pre 1918 Winchester 1879 Patent (Mod 1885) ‘Winder Musket’ .22 Long Round Calibre Falling Block Single Shot U.S. Military Training Rifle. D 1500**UK ONLY 2024 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED**D 1500 - D 1500
The Winder musket was a .22 calibre military training rifle used by the U.S Army in the early 20th Century. The weapon was the brainchild of Colonel C. B. Winder, who advocated marksmanship training with a rifle of similar size and weight to a service rifle but chambered in .22 rim fire, which was both economical and suitable for indoor ranges. The Winder Musket was based on the Winchester Model 1885 single shot rifle. Although it was never officially referred to as the Winder musket, the weapon was informally named in honour of Colonel Winder, and has since generally been referred to as the Winder musket. The Winder Musket was superseded by the 1922 Model bolt-action training rifle. Winder Musket serial number records are sketchy having several gaps in the record log. Winders made in 1918 and 1919 were given the designation ‘Model 87’. This is an excellent original example of the rare Winder Musket. It has no designation marks but does have crisp patent and manufacturer detail stamped on the top steel action tang ‘Pat Oct 7th 79 (1879) Winchester Trade Mark’ and serial number ‘102269’ on the lower action tang. It has a 28” round steel barrel (43 3/4” overall), an adjustable rear target sight and block & blade fore sight. The barrel is stamped with calibre detail ’22 Long R’. It has a steel butt plate, fore end block, barrel bands and a single sling swivel. The metal retains its original blue finish. The Musket has excellent all original undamaged wood work which has just minor bumps and bruises consistent with age and service use. It has an external hammer. The rifle’s original UK deactivation certificate was lost at some point in its life and a new UK only deactivation certificate was issued in 2024. The musket’s falling block cocking and firing action works crisply. The price for this rare piece includes deactivation certificate & UK delivery. D 1500

Independently produced by the Republic of Turkey, these World War II vintage Turkish K.Kale M1938 Mauser rifles are good solid rifles. While all previous models of Turkish Mausers and many of the so-called M1938s were actually made in Europe, K.Kale marked rifles were manufactured in Turkey. The first domestic-made Turkish Mauser-type rifles, they were built in Kirikkale Tufek Fabrikast, a government-owned “Military Factory.” During World War II for the first time it had to rely on local armouries to produce military firearms. Thousands of Gew.98s were parted out and converted to the M1938 configuration. These were for the most part marked ATF, for Ankara Tufek Fabrikast (Ankara Rifle Factory). Between 1940 and 1946, the K.Kale factory manufactured around a quarter-million rifle receivers. Top production years were 1942 (53,000 rifles) and 1944 (49,000 rifles). Additional markings atop the receiver ring are a star and crescent moon, with the letter abbreviations T.C. (Turkiye Cumhuriyeti, or Republic of Turkey); AS FA (Askari Fabrika, or Military Factory); ANKARA, for the city where the K.Kale factory is located. This 1944 dated Turkish Mauser Model 1938 was made at K.Kale AS FA (Askari Fabrika, or Military Factory) Ankara. The barrel shank is stamped with factory markings, Turkish Crescent Moon & Star, inspection marks and serial number 186380. Our all original example is in excellent condition. It has a 29 ¼” barrel with original cleaning rod and sling swivels. The rifle has a steel butt plate, the stock is slotted and ringed for sling anchor & it has an adjustable rear sight. Originally deactivated to a very early UK specification in 1988, the original deactivation certificate was lost at some point in its life and in 2024 a replacement EU deactivation certificate was issued.
