Just like those used in the Great War, only this one was sitting in an amory on the other side of the world. This musket is from the International Military Antiques acquisition of the Nepal Royal Arsenal. Date and origin of manufacture are unknown. Suspected it was manufactured in Nepal under British War Department supervision; although it is possible that it was an unmarked British manufactured weapon which the Nepalese then made their own.

This piece is complete and the lock works, though firing is NOT RECOMMENDED due to aged condition of the stock. Many hours have gone into its cleaning, makes a great display piece at a fraction of the cost of a Civil War model.
