Original British Napoleonic P-1796 Third Model Tower Brown Bess Flintlock Musket Marked to the 44th East Essex Regiment of Foot Japanese Uniforms but a bit fadedOriginal Item: Only One Available. Acquired recently from a private collection, this is a lovely third Pattern Brown Bess, with the 39" barrel adopted in 1796. Also known as the "India Pattern", it was the standard Musket of the line during 1815, the time of the Battle of Waterloo. This example also still retains the "bannister rail" butt stock, a feature that was basically done away with after 1807. The musket has a full 39" regulation length, . 75"
