REVOLUTIONARY WAR ERA BROWN BESS STYLE MUSKET.

SN NSN. This Brown Bess style musket is totally unmarked. There are no discernible bbl or lock proofs. The bbl is 44″ and 79 cal mounted on a walnut stock with ramrod pipes smaller than a standard musket and wrist is smaller than a standard enlisted musket also. Ramrods do not have Pratts improvement so they are in the style of pre 1777. The 6″ lock escutcheon is slightly raised, much like a first model Bess and the long three-stepped 5-1/2″ buttplate tang emulates that of an early gun, however buttplate is only 4-1/2″ tall. American forces in the Revolutionary War utilized any type of guns they could find and this gun fits the period and was probably used. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Douglas Sirkin. CONDITION: Metal is brown and pitted overall; brass furniture is fairly smooth and has medium mustard patina; stock is fairly sound and solid with several glued repairs that don’t effect the overall aesthetics of this gun. 4-50060 JS215 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 2573
