Hi Friend,

In earlier day i have seen same muzzle loader DBBL, but this is in very good condition. And the information which i get from old man is, am sharing with you as same.

This is muzzle loader a 150+ year old might be manufactured in an around 1850 or 55 it was used by Royal Navy and Royal Army in India and in other part's of the world during the mutiny of 1857.



You are very luck man, This is a very rare piece, so please please take care of it.



Thanking You,

Abhishek Patil.

Oaks and Co were NOT gunmakers - that`s why the gun says `made for` Oakes and Co.
