Rifle combat soldier infantry model 1828

Quite a rare gun in very good collector's condition. The marks on the outer part of the barrel are erased; a number of military acceptance marks are punched under the bed. Flint lock, French battery type. This type of castle was created in 1610 by a French gunsmith from Lisieux (Normandy) Marin Le Bourgeois (1550-1634). It was an order of magnitude more reliable than the wheel, so it spread around the world for the next three centuries, as the main mechanism of hand firearms. To prepare such a lock to fire, the shooter had (charge of the actual weapon, that is, scoring in the barrel powder charge, the bullet and the wad) to put a trigger on the relief of stress; to open the lid of the shelf; if you need to clear seed hole; to put on the shelf a small portion of gunpowder; close the lid; to put a trigger on a fighting platoon. The key Board is stamped with the inscription "TULA 1838" (the stamp of the Tula arms factory and the date of manufacture of the product-1838). The trigger is smooth, reinforced with a single screw. The trigger is steel, C-shaped, smooth. The trigger guard is brass, rounded in shape. The bed is wooden, the forearm is almost the entire length of the trunk. On the left side of the box, opposite the key Board, a steel bracket is installed. The barrel is fixed in the bed with three clips and a screw on the tide in the breech. On the brass parts of the gun, multiple acceptance marks are punched and the product release date is 1838. The back of the butt is brass, smooth, L-shaped. The image of the Russian double-headed eagle and the weapon number 12526 are punched on the back. A steel ramrod is embedded in the forearm. Guarantee of authenticity. Visual inspection of the gun indicates the authenticity of all its parts and good preservation.
