Flintlock Gun. Culture: Indian, Sindh (now Pakistan); lock, British. Dimensions: L. 58 7/8 in. (149.5 cm); L. of barrel 42 3/4 in. (108.6 cm); Cal. .56 in. (14.0 mm); Wt. 9 lb. 11 oz. (4393 g). Date: second quarter of the 19th century. Guns of this type, with sharply curved flaring butts and mounts in enameled gold of Iranian manufacture, are typical of Sind, now a province of southern Pakistan. The British lock is inscribed "H. M.," possibly referring to the well-known London gunmaker Harvey Walklate Mortimer (1753-1817). It may be a remnant of the firearms given to the mirs, rulers of Sind, by the British government. The barrel, possibly made locally, is of boldly patterned Damascus steel. The gilt muzzle is in the shape of a dragon's head, the eyes set with rubies and emeralds.
