British Land Pattern Brown Bess Musket:


British Land Pattern Brown Bess flintlock musket:

Now here`s a great looking British Brown Bess, can`t make out the date but woukd be Napoleonic, Bristish markers mark. Fair to say its nt the finest example out there as the barrel has suffered in the past and the stock has had some repairs - the action cocks and fires but prefers if you take the pressure off with your thumb (would be twice the price if it was all really good). Obsolete calibre so live but no license required.

British 1" calibre Tower Musket:


British 1" calibre Tower Musket... crikey...:

Sweet Jesus, words cannot describe how big the 1" bore of this British musket is, but its got the extra re-enforcement of octagonalling along most of its length and its a beast of a gun... More than likely it would have loaded grape shot rather than a solid ball and would have been a shortrange devastating blast, more than likely Naval as most things were at that point. Condition is good but there`s plenty of period repairs to the wood, likely caused by the shock of firing a huge powder load! Undated but would be from around 1830, Obsolete calibre so live but no license required.
