Some info required please, Antique? weapons
Been a long time since i frequented these boards and here to ask for help.
Can anyone help? My dad has had these on the wall for many years, Bought approx 1971 or 1972 from a
Dealer that had cleared out an Indian Armoury.
Matchlock Musket, Barrel length 36", 56" overall. .45 Calibre. Muzzle flared to .52 calibre.
Percussion carbine, Enfield pattern 2 band carbine. .577 calibre smoothbore as issued to the Indian
Cavalry, barrel length 22" overall 37" (2623 stamped into the stock).
Appears to be writing and a number 718 on the barrel. Brass buttplate and original ramrod.
Percussion shotgun, 24 bore double barrel. Barrel length 27" overall 43". What appears to be Indian
writing on the strip between the barrels. Pattern engraved onto thye lockplates and trigger guard.
Checkered grips. Circular patchbox on the cheekpiece. Original ramrod.
Can anyone give anymore information on these and an idea of their value?

I would say some where between £100 for the matchlock and £200 for the side by side
