Awesome, I will keep my eye out for them.
I like guns....
If those muskets were proofed, I'd buy one or 2.
I would never purchase a firearm that wasn’t proofed. What’s next non SAAMI spec ammo you have to test yourself?
What's the reason for not having the flash-holes drilled?
I think you would sell a lot more guns if these flintlocks were functional.
A lot of reasons. A lot less export/import hassle.
Probably safe to assume the price would be doubled if they were in firing condition.
We just need to find a gunsmith that will drill the flash hole and proof fire it. Or figure out a proof load and do it yourself
The country of origin has strict laws regulating the sale and export of firearms. No touch hole - it is not a firearm, no export issues.

What is the country of origin?
My best guess is India
Both gvanzeggelaar and tiriaq are correct.
The country of origin (India) is not an easy place to export firearms out of.
If we were to get them proofed and made legal firearms, the price would also be much higher. Some people just want wall hangers, etc.
Also, as these were originally made of rod iron and other weak materials, it's not like any modern steel would fail proof testing for black powder. At the end of the day it's cheaper for you to get your gun smith to drill it out for you. if that is something that makes you uncomfortable (saving money and using an unproofed barrel with 10x the strength of the original) than I guess these aren't the muskets for you.

Could I, in theory, install a nipple from a muzzleloader and use caps?
