Overview of British Brown Bess Second Pattern Short Land Flintlock Musket

Item Details

High Estimate4000
Low Estimate2000
About .80 caliber, the muzzle very worn and thin, 41” barrel with a heavily oxidized bore showing encrustation its full length. The barrel is an honest soft brown patina with overall oxidation and light and moderate pitting scattered about the surfaces, with a fairly simple top-mounted front sight, no “lug” is present. The touchole area shows a very large relining with what appears to be brass, no doubt the arm a reconversion to flint. The lockplate is a lightly cleaned later British India pattern and is Tower marked, the markings however are only sparsely visible due to the cleaning of the metal, there are remnants of light pitting present. All of the brass hardware has toned to a dull ocher patina but it remains present, the triggerguard slightly loose, its rear tang slightly warped. The flat serpentine sideplate with rear teat seems to fit very well, the toe of the buttplate slightly misshapen. The walnut stock rates perhaps very good showing an old cleaning many years ago which has softened some of the edges, but the comb flutes remain crisp and the brass monogram plate atop the wrist is present. There are scattered small chips here and there, most notably at rear of the tang and a few splits or cracks that come with the years and drying, a small plug ahead of the triggerguard front extension. The sling swivels have been removed and there is a no longer a ramrod present. The lock does function with a somewhat weak hammer spring. Likely a good “representative” piece that won’t break the bank. (3A10570-7) {ANTIQUE} (2000/4000)
