Original British Tower Marked 3rd Model Brown Bess Converted to Percussion Short Musket with Baker Bayonet Bar Holsters & Cases Sterling Silver Combat Infantryman BadgeOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice percussion converted example of a British Third Model Brown Bess, which looks to have had a very interesting history! Also known as the "India Pattern", this was the standard Musket of the line during 1815, the time of the Battle of Waterloo. The style of the stock and fittings would indicate production in the early 19th century, and it was then shortened by 9 inches to have a 30 inch . 75"
