Description:
A Historically colorful 3rd model Brown Bess with  worn to about .84 cal,bore and a 38 1/4" barrel with an oxidized bore. The metal surfaces are primarily a dark brown oxidized patina, the lockplate showing some old pitting and a number of antique repairs. The brass hardware is mostly a mottled ocher patina, the buttplate is secured by a single large nail The triggerguard tang has been shortened to fit this stock.The brass nose cap hs been reset with a screw as it may have become loose from long military field use and the bayonet slamming against it. The markings are somewhat legible with "TOWER" behind the cock, "(Crown) / GR" in the center of the lockplate and a regimental marking at heel of the buttplate that appears to read "79 / B". The smooth walnut stock appears to be a very old period well used  and remains in good condition showing a number of  old wear, and dents and possible small cracks.A rudimentary ramrod is present, and  the lock is otherwise functional at times. Great hanger for the mantle and getting scarcer to find.When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith  before  shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost.   We don’t have a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns  affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of  older guns If you attempt to buy,  you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed.  Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.  I’m easy to get along with. Thank You
