These are one of the
earliest versions of the legendary
Long Land pattern Brown Bess muskets,
produced after the
George 1st model Pre-Land Musket.
These early models
had no bridle on the frizzen, and
the hardware was made of iron, very
similar to the earlier doglock
muskets of the William III &
Queen Anne era.
The appearance
is extremely close to the 1728 Bess,
however, all hardware is iron.
All specs are the same as the 1728
Bess, however, all hardware is iron.
Available with either wood or steel
rammer.
Lock plate
bears the following marks:
Crown over "GR", and "DUBLIN/ CASTLE"
over the date 1724.
Notice the correct styled finial
on the frizzen spring.
All springs are properly hand
forged & tempered.
Frizzens are guaranteed to throw
an excellent shower of sparks.
Another view of
this beautiful musket, showing the
iron hardware and relief carving
around side plate & tang.
This view; one
of the butt plate,(notice the
long tang), and the rest of the
iron hardware.
Sling swivels
are included with musket, also
free flash guard and hammer/frizzen
stall.
