Beautiful Indian “Toradar” Matchlock Musket, .65 Caliber (AL5707)

No Serial Number, circa 19th century. Chambered in .65 caliber with a 52” round ladder-pattern Damascus (Kirk Narduban) barrel. Both muzzle and breech are chiseled and decorated with gold damascening (Koftgari). Barrel is secured with four decorative barrel bands. Side plates feature a Damascus pattern, while the wood above them displays a floral inlay design. The remainder of the stock is in very good condition, showing only light handling impressions. Action functions mechanically as intended. A striking and ornate example of a Toradar musket—a piece that would have belonged to someone of high status.
