BRITISH TRADE MUSKET including the full nameAn excellent condition smooth bore Flintlock trade musket, very similar in style and composition to the Brown Bess musket. The lock on this example is plain and unmarked, with Indian Arsenal markings to the butt stock. The wood overall is generally excellent, with three brass pipes below the stock, and its original ramrod. The Flintlock action is perfect, with what appears to be its original strap, barrel length 39 inches, with English proof marks.
