Thanks Roeland & welcome to the Napoleonic section.

Thanks Peter,

You can go on as much as you like. I took some more pictures of other markings and of some that look like marks.

thanks again,

Hello Dave,

It's similar to known examples from that period. Overall very crude, wood grip with a slightly curved blade. These were usually made in lots by a metal worker when a ship owner needed some weapons for his crew. I can't find any markings but I'll keep looking through the rust. I think that these kinda blades are not often marked.

thanks,

barry

Hello,

I just got this flintlock in today and thought I'd post some pictures. Any help on the type, model, and markings would be helpful.
