Original British Napoleonic Wars P-1796 Third Model Brown Bess Flintlock Musket - 44th Regiment U.S. Machine Guns - Combat Infantryman BadgeOriginal Item: One Only. This is a great example of a regimentally marked really early Third model "India Patterm" Brown Bess, which still retains the "bannister rail" butt stock. This feature was basically done away with after 1807. The musket has a full 39" regulation length, . 75" smoothbore iron barrel, which bears British Proof Marks, though they are slightly eroded due to powder corrosion. The lock plate is full marked with Crown over "G. R."
