Hi,

I just inherited these 2 short and 2 long old muzzleloaders. I have no idea what they are and are they worth anything ?

I have searched the internet, but no luck! Any help or even a hint of what these are would be highly apprciated.

Sorry about the bad quality photos.

Long gun is 'Arabic'/middle eastern style.  The action is not what we call a 'flintlock' but probably a snaphaunce or mikelet.  Knives are also mid eastern.  One of the pistols looks same, the other, I want to say British but I can't put my finger on why.

Thanks ! I knew I could find wisdom from here !!!

I made a search with snaphaunce musket and I found the second long one: It is Moroccoan Taouzilt Snaphaunce musket circa 1850
Identical to this: Moroccan Taouzilt Snaphaunce musket

Thanks !!! Only 3 to go...
