As a neophyte in the matchlock era I will defer to the more knowledgable on the subject. How well does the loyalist arms offering resemble the real thing? What time frame and geographical location would it fit into? Thanks for any info.

I am guessing that you are refering to the "Early european matchlock musket" that is mentioned on their site.

This indian made matchlock is of the style that would fit in at the end of the 16th to the mid-17th Century. Since it has a lever style trigger, it would fit in more with the continental Europe, especially France.

Hope this helps.
