BROWN BESS Style FLINTLOCK Musket by WALKER
Description: BROWN BESS Style FLINTLOCK Musket by WALKER Walker Flint Fusil Circa the Late 1700s Here we present an antique English Flintlock Fusil by Walker, made circa the late-18th Century. This smaller, lightweight musket is commonly referred to as a fusil. Fusils such as these were made by gunmakers at large rather than by the national armory and would have been used by officers, fusiliers, volunteer regiments, and even militia units. This fusil follows the Brown Bess in form with its long barrel secured by pins rather than bands. The barrel is 40" in length, slightly shorter than the regular 2nd pattern Brown Bess of 42". These muskets were exported to the U.S. for militia service as well as for use as ships muskets, etc. As to officer's muskets, there was no official pattern which means that, while many are of smaller caliber, this was not a hard and fast rule. What is consistent is quality and practically every example displays a high level of. There is no reason for a privately owned officer's musket to have anything like a rack number, while some have the owner’s name (this gun has J.C. on the thumb plate), personal crest (if he had one) and regiment on them. There are some that may be part of a set purchased by the officers of the regiment together. This gun also features a bayonet lug. The overall condition is good. The steel surfaces were left in the white and remain semi-bright. There is a patch about 4 inches from the muzzle and another around the vent. The markings are clear. The stock remains in good condition. The bore is smooth, dark and dusty. The action is strong. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 40 inches. Caliber: .72 Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1985 #8441 SOLD Antique: Yes |
