    Hi I have recently came across this musket gun, it is in very good condition and is 147 cm long I have been told it might be military due to the MG 134 stamped on it and it might be a 19th century jezial musket, if anyone could give me any more information it would be very greatly appreciated, pictures are below

    Another thing about the musket is that the barrel isn’t rifled unlike all of the other jezail muskets?

    are there any marks on the metal plate that you can see without cleaning it ?
    or any on the barrel itself?
