WAR OF 1812 ERA SECOND MODEL BROWN BESS MUSKET.

Cal. .75. 42″ bbl. A classic second model Brown Bess in as-found condition with crisp markings and very good condition. This gun has normal configuration of other second model Besses with 4″ stepped buttplate tang, large flat two-screw lock escutcheon, unsupported hammer, two screws behind hammer, and Pratt’s improvement made to ramrod pipes and long 4″ front ramrod pipe. The bbl and thumbplate are both marked “P/29”. There are numerous proofs in stock and bbl and the typical crown over “GR” cipher forward of hammer and “TOWER” engraved behind the hammer. This is a great condition gun that would be hard to improve on and I see why Mr. Flayderman retained this in his collection. This gun is orig, authentic and complete in every regard though missing the front sling-swivel which fits through the forestock. PROVENANCE: Norm Flayderman Estate Collection. CONDITION: Gun overall is in very good condition. Metal overall is bright/gray with scattered areas of rust and pitting. Markings in metal are crisp, well-struck and easily discerned as can be seen in photographs. The stock is sound and solid with about a 1″ chip just forward of lock. Stock exhibits numerous small dings and dents. Brass buttplate, trigger guard, thumbplate, escutcheon and ramrod thimbles have yellow patina with scattered small scratches. Mechanically musket is functional. 4-51194 JS32 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 2138
