These are French made musket flints. We pulled these right out of the bag and did not sort these out by hand. I think they all look pretty good for not hand sorting. We will do our best to match up the flints for you. These are from new stock. Just to be clear these are new flints made in the last few months. These flints work well for Brown Bess's or any musket with a large lock. The color of the flints you receive may vary some, as an example the flint may be a little more on the gray side, we have no control on the color of the flint. These are hand made with English flint. We will do our best to match the color, size and shape of the flints for you.
