Tower Brown Bess Flintlock Musket

This musket conforms to the India Pattern used from 1797 to 1854 in conflicts throughout the British Empire and is marked "TOWER" at the tail of the lock and has the Crown of St. Edward over "GR" at the center. There are small British proof and property marks throughout. A modern reproduction white leather sling has been fitted to the swivels, and an iron ramrod is in place under the forend.

ConditionVery good. The barrel and lock have gray and brown patina, moderate pitting, and mild oxidation. The brass has a deep aged patina. The stock is also very good and has some crude checkering added near the ramrod entry pipe, some minor chipping, small dings, and numerous minor scratches. The lock functions fine.
