Description:
BIRMINGHAM Proof Antique BRITISH Brown Bess Musket
TOWER Marked Napoleonic Wars Musket with Bayonet
Here we present an antique Tower marked Brown Bess Flintlock Musket with bayonet made in England circa 1795 to 1815. This pattern of Brown Bess is the same that fought Napoleon Bonaparte in numerous iconic battles, as well as the United States and their American Indian Allies during the War of 1812. This pattern may also correctly be called the “India Pattern” since the Honorable East India Company was the entity responsible for this update to the gun that had been around since 1722. When war with France loomed on the horizon, the British Board of Ordnance diverted these muskets from the EIC contract to supply the war effort. The success of this model can be gauged by the fact that between 1795 and 1815, nearly 3,000,000 gun were produced. Although the Birmingham gun trade was responsible for the majority of the production, the London gun trade played a part, through gun makers such as Ezekial Baker, William Parker, Thomas Reynolds, and Durs Egg. According to the London proof-house records, they and others in London were responsible for producing 845,477 muskets.
Overall condition is very good. The iron parts are smooth with clear markings and a dark patina. The stock is likewise smooth and solid. The bore is clean. The action is excellent. The bayonet is in great shape. The sling and bayonet scabbard are quality replicas and remain in fine condition. This is a fabulous British musket from around the turn of the 19th Century!
