Old guns eh? Crappy pic as I was too lazy to move the TV but take a guess at this one

And please forgive the dust. Whoops, the first one was supposed to show the barrel tip - hexagonal.

Nice matchlock, I was looking into getting a fully functioning replica but they are around grand.

That would be fun. That one's technically a wick lock. I've never shot either but I have had quite a lot of fun at black powder conventions with flint locks - I assume they behave fairly similarly?

And thank you.

Sell it at a "gun show" no need for papers. Or pm me I have cash on hand.

A wick lock? Never heard of one, it looks like a mtachlock, you put a burning cord in the lock and when you pull the trigger it drops the cord onto the flash hole. It has slight delay on firing sort of like a flint lock.

It was manufactured by savage arms company in 1899.. IDK much else lol.

Totally correct. Wick lock/match lock are the same thing, dunno what I'm smoking. I read too many out of print arms books

Oh, now I can tell by the pic that it's a model 1899, are you sure the date of manufacture is 1899 as well? You don't know caliber are anything? Help me out here I'm curious lol.
