This is the shortened "carbine" version of the iconic Charleville musket modeled after the French 1763 pattern that was widely used in the colonies and against British troops during the Revolutionary War. More compact and lighter than the full-length musket, the carbine variant was favored by cavalry and officers who needed a maneuverable firearm in the field.
Made in Spain by Denix, the world's leading manufacturer of non-firing replica firearms, this piece is an exceptional display item for collectors and history enthusiasts. Bayonet not included.
