Description:
Scarce as hen's teeth this Brown Bess Sea Service of .75 cal with a muxxle that measures at 78 cal., 38 1/2'' barrel with an oxidized bore. The barrel is a very pleasing soft plum brown patina its full-length and features a top-mounted bayonet lug-sighting stud, the nosecap beginning 4 1/2'' from the muzzle. The appropriate British proofs are at the left radius of the barrel and there is a good deal of pitting around the touch hole, adding to the honest character of this interesting arm. The lockplate is appropriately ''Tower'' and ''(crown)'' marked and border engraved with a bridled frizzen, showing the appropriate wear marks and light pitting that come from an issued and used arm. There are two funneled thimbles, the tailpipe is fairly simple, The triggerguard is rather a sea service-pattern like , but with a rearward grip swirl as seen on the New Land Pattern sergeants carbines and similar 1830s-era Bess conversions; the buttplate is very sea service in character. The stock rates about very good with the expected overall light dings and handling marks and a small swell at the tailpipe.. The lock functions properly mechanically and there is a later iron ramrod included. A very good example overall of one of the last flintlock ''Brown Bess'' muskets to be used by the realm, the advent of percussion arms quickly hailing their demise as viable military arms. 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[JB1]
