This musket was converted from flintlock during the 1840’s conversion programme; probably Cantonally, since it has a flat hammer. Cantons had considerable leeway early in the century, with many privately made arms being carried, but conforming to Cantonal calibre. Carried by troops of the Cantonal Artillery Park – possibly Bern or Bernese Oberland Artillery park.
Section 58 (2) Antique / obsolete calibre, can be owned without a licence. Buyer must be over the age of 18.
