An Ix De Cavallerie Rifle Flintlock 29-15/16" .69

Reproduction of one of the most reppresentative models equipping the Napoleon troops. It equipped all the cavalry corps including the hussars, who however always preferred their 1786 musket, lighter and shorter. The cavalry musket was manufactured until the 1816 in about 225,000 units and several other European countries imitated it to equip their corps, like for instance the Royal Cavalry Carabineers of the Sardiania Reign, 1814. Produced with smooth barrel and oil finished walnut stock, some of the metal furnitures are in brass, like the butt plate, trigger guard, the side plate and the front band.
