Description:
Seldom seen alteration of a Napoleonic era India Pattern musket, Ca.1830. .75 Caliber, pin-fastened smoothbore, sighted barrel with two Board of Ordnance proof marks at breach and “Crown/14” mark on tang, shortened to 29.5 in. Modified Regulation Pattern walnut handrail-type stock with a pronounced comb and a raised beavertail apron at the barrel tang. Left side with “DB” Inspector’s Mark behind the sideplate, and a post-1826 “Arrow/BO” Storekeeper's mark on right side below buttplate pin. Full brass hardware of regulation design, with an unmarked, stepped & pin-fastened finial buttplate. Two ramrod pipes for the button-head iron rammer. A pin-fastened nose-cap and the trigger guard with acorn finial. A convex “S” shaped sideplate and complete with both its sidebolts. P. 1796 lock has the double-throat cock and convex lockplate with a Crown/GR Royal Cypher and Crown/Broad Arrow Board of Ordnance Acceptance mark under the bridled pan and “TOWER” behind the cock. Fitted w/ steel sling swivels. See: "Journal of the Arms & Armour Society Vol XV No.4, Sept 1996. Arms of the Customs & Excise' p.189 by Howard L. Blackmore.
CONDITION: Very good as altered. The barrel with sharp markings and smooth, patinated steel surfaces. Some light scattered pitting/discoloration and a very good touch-hole and bore. Lock with matching steel surfaces, and its original components. Brass hardware appears cleaned long ago with a small roundhead screw added at the trigger guard finial. The stock is sound with much finish, good contours, clean visible inspector’s marks and signs of use, handling and storage. A couple of small tight cracks at lockplate mortise. Front sling swivel is missing. Very good mechanics with a strong mainspring and very good timing.
