Title: Musket Triggerguard
Post by: Avlrc on November 27, 2024, 07:30:50 PM

What model/models musket is this trigger guard from? It might be a contract gun.  The musket is cut down, converted to percussion, and has the S or L style French/Springfield side plate.

Hard to tell without dimensions and a side view, but similar to the trigger guard on my French Model 1822 and the Belgian Fusil d'infanterie #1
