Here's a 1717 model musket clearly shown in the Hogarth print Gates of Calais. Click on the picture to see the whole image. The guy with the sketch pad behind the French soldier is a self-portrait by Hogarth. In the lower right corner of the print is a sad, displaced Highlander. I could go on for an hour about this print, but we are here to talk guns, not paintings!           A full view of the piece, which features a 46" barrel.           View from the left.           A close up of the breech area. You can see the early French markings on the barrel and the single flat on top of the barrel.           A view of the lock. The bridle connecting the frizzen screw and the frizzen spring screw is a holdover from the 17th century and unique to this model.           A view from the top. You can see the early style tang on the buttplate.           A view of the sideplate and ring-style sling swivel which is mounted on the side.
