The barrel is marked "2 REGT" on top and has government proofs at the breech as well as "N.V" and a partial maker's mark with a "W" (last letter) visible. The thumb plate has "I/144." These markings indicate it was issued to 2nd (Queen's Royal) Regiment of Foot which served in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars in the West Indies (Caribbean), Portugal, and Netherlands. It has the standard Short Land Pattern features and lock markings, "THOMSON" in the ramrod groove, as well as some hand scratched markings on the butt and includes a Woolley Deakin & Co. socket bayonet.

Very good overall with mostly light gray patina on the polished iron, damage at the muzzle, vice marks at the breech, repaired tang, some remarked markings, absent swivels, aged patina on the brass, dark refreshed oiled finish on the stock, some minor cracks, and mild overall wear. Mechanically fine.
