The legendary Short Land Brown Bess (aka Second Model) along side the earlier Long Land Brown Bess (aka First Model) were the standard British infantry muskets of the American Revolution. This musket is the Pattern 1777 (Short Land, New Pattern, Type 2) variation manufactured c. 1777-1782 during the Revolutionary War. The barrel has the standard combination bayonet stud/front sight, Tower proofs and a "crown/6" mark by the vent. The lock has the standard Georgian cipher and "TOWER" markings. Button head ramrod.

ConditionGood with brown and gray patina with light to moderate pitting and wear on the iron, refaced frizzen, bushed vent, well-worn muzzle, and golden aged patina on the brass.
