Description:
NSN, .78 Caliber, 39" barrel with a very good, lightly pitted bore. This is a "TOWER" and "(Crown) / GR" marked, "India Pattern" musket that has had the metal cleaned to bright throughout, although all of the markings remain crisp and clear. The action is crisp and the mainspring is firm, with some mild oxidation inside the pan. The walnut stock has no visible maker’s mark and has numerous small handling marks and blemishes scattered about the old added oil finish. The right side of the stock has 1805 and 1818 dates stamped near the butt. The brass furniture has developed a mellow ochre patina over time, with minor areas of darker tarnish scattered about the metal. The metal ramrod is finished bright, and is a later, closely matching replacement. This is a great looking "Brown Bess," in very good-near fine condition, that would make a great addition to any collection. Antique
