** NAPOLEONIC WARS ERA**Georgian British Enfield Tower India Pattern Brown Bess .700 Calibre Flintlock Musket Regiment Marked ‘SLM’ (Possibly South Lancashire Militia) With Original Period Socket Bayonet. Sn 21265 - 21265
India Pattern Brown Bess muskets were the standard British Infantry Musket between 1797 & 1854. Some were in use pre-1797 purchased from the East India Company for use in Egypt (see 32-35 of British Military Long Arms 1715-1815 by Bailey where India pattern muskets are described & illustrated). This is a very good, original, India Pattern Tower Brown Bess flintlock musket. It has a 37 ¼” barrel (52 ¼” overall) with block foresight. The barrel’s smooth bore has staining and residue consistent with age and service use. Its lock plate is marked with a crown and the letters GR (King George Rex) & ordnance mark together with ‘Tower’ across the tail of lock. The musket has standard British India pattern brass fittings including butt plate, trigger guard with extended tang, fore end cap & brass ramrod pipes. It has a military hammer Walnut full stock with iron ramrod as illustrated in the pages of Bailey’s book. The musket’s cocking and firing actions work crisply. The wood is Regiment marked ‘S.L.M’. The ‘M’ is poorly impressed and resembles a letter ‘K’. We cannot find a Regiment with initials ‘SLK’ so it is more likely to be ‘SLM’ to the South Lancashire Militia (the Lancashire Militia originated in 1689 when King William III directed the Earl of Derby, Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire, to call out and train the Militia under Charles II’s Act of 1662 which formed the basis for Militia law until 1908). The Musket comes complete with an original period socket bayonet. The 17” triangular form blade is straight and has just staining and aged patina. The blade has no visible inspection or maker marks. The bayonet fits the musket. The price for this historic piece includes UK delivery.
