Create my profile now!This is an East India Company type B percussion musket. This musket was an early percussion conversion of the EIC flintlock gun by fitting a new breech plug with an integral nipple that replaced the earlier breech plug. The musket retained the original profile lock of the flintlock which was changed on the model C. The gun measures 54 inches in length. The 39 inch round steel barrel has a block foresight and a V back sight. The original percussion lock plate is held in by three side pins with a flat brass sideplate. The lockplate is stamped with the EIC rampant lion and cocks correctly. The gun has its original walnut stock which has the knocks, bumps and bruises to be expected with age and service use. The gun has brass furniture including butt plate, trigger guard, fore end and ram rod mounts. The round steel ramrod has a round rammer head. The metal work has even patina throughout and the barrel has staining and residue consistent with age and use. The price includes UK delivery. As an antique musket no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 21851:9
