I don't know what the laws are for black powder firearms are where you live, but it's non-fireable as sold. But if legal, you could have a gunsmith drill the flash hole and proof test it.

If we were in society, I would never let you miss guns, arquebuses and guns, and you me the vintage uniforms. This is really very well done.
P.S.Β The riflemanΒ is left-handed, the flintlock mechanism is on the left side of the firearm.

That yellow pants and inner part of the coat with 17th, 18th and 19tg century Swedish Line Infantry always makes me giggle a little... as yellow foot had a rather derogatory meening in most armies, refering to units caving in and fleeing a battle line (nicely put uhm as yellowing their foot) and this uniform always reminds me of just that, even tho I know how good and influental the Swedish army were in the 17th and 18th century, until their defeat by the Russians at Somlenks.
