American Stocked 1741 Tower Long Land Pattern 1st Model Brown Bess Flintlock Musket French & Indian / Revolutionary War RARE
Description:
Very Rare American Restocked Pattern 1730/40 Long Land (First Model) Brown Bess Flintlock Infantry Musket, .80 cal smoothbore, mfg. 1741. Long Land Brown Bess muskets of any pattern are extremely scarce and examples this early which show American usage typically indicate they were issued to Provincial troops in British North America during the French & Indian War and left behind with the colonial militias after the conflict ended only to fight in patriot hands throughout the Revolutionary War. The barrel measures 45 ¾" long retaining it's original bayonet lug with sighting notch cut into the tang in typical American fashion. Breech is stamped “WC” below a faint number with “C” over “4” marked just under the muzzle. Early “banana” style lock is clearly marked “TOWER / 1741” at the tail with Crown over “GR” and ordnance broad arrow. The lock remains in it's original unaltered form with all original components and shows remnants of a blackened finish mostly thinned to plum/gray. The barrel has a smooth dark salt & pepper patina. The stock has a rich cherry color with prominent diamond relief carving around the sideplate, lock, and barrel tang and “W. F. KEEN” stamped on both sides of the butt and again twice faintly on the buttplate itself. This could be the name of the gunsmith who restocked and rebuilt the gun or it very well may be the name of the soldier who carried it in the Revolution. In my opinion the stock dates post-Revolution which would suggest it either saw continued militia use or it was restocked simply to be preserved as an heirloom for the family of the old patriot veteran who carried it. The wood has a pleasing worn appearance overall with just one small surface chip behind the lock. Original brass buttplate, triggerguard (cracked/repaired), convex sideplate, and ramrod pipes all have an attractive goldenrod patina. The last pipe being the same as the others indicates the gun was originally intended for a wood rammer as opposed to steel. Horn tipped wood ramrod dates to at least the age of the stock if not older. Action is very firm and secure and functions wonderfully. Frizzen smoothly shuts and springs forward. A fantastic 284 year old musket that could tell countless stories if it could talk! Jeremiah Johnson Trading sells antique arms manufactured prior to 1899 and muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions only. For the purpose of these conditions the term "antique arms" will also include muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions.

For the purpose of these conditions the term "antique arms" will also include muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions. Buyers must be 21 years of age or older and have no felony convictions to purchase antique arms. Antique arms do not require Federal licensing and may be shipped directly to the buyer with the following exceptions. No antique arms will be shipped to Washington D. C. or any of the five boroughs of New York City (or residents thereof). Some restrictions may apply to antique firearms shipped to California and will be noted in the item description if applicable. Any antique arm shipped to New Jersey or Ohio must ship to a licensed FFL holder, no exceptions. Any muzzleloading blackpowder reproduction rifle, shotgun, or handgun shipped to Illinois must ship to an FFL holder. Items containing antique ivory will not be sold or shipped to residents of California, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, or Washington. Antique muzzleloaders and antiques which fire obsolete cartridges may be shipped internationally however it is the responsibility of the buyer to know and abide by their local laws and provide proof that the antique arm is legal to receive and own. Payment can be made by money order, banker's check, personal check, credit card (no additional fees), or bank wire. Please allow 7-10 business days for clearance on personal checks. If paying by credit card please call us directly to process your order. Items are professionally packed and shipped USPS Priority Mail with insurance coverage for the sale price and signature required for delivery. Items valued over $5,000.00 are shipped Registered Mail. Buyer pays actual shipping costs with no added charge for packing materials or handling. We describe items accurately and thoroughly. If an item has been misrepresented or significant defect overlooked you may return it for a full refund (minus return shipping costs) within 3 days of having received it. This timeframe begins once the package is delivered by the carrier. Buyer's remorse or concerns over issues noted in the description and/or pictures is not a valid excuse for return. Returned items must be received in the same condition as originally shipped - cleaning, disassembly, alteration, or damage of any kind will void inspection privileges. Occasionally a post-1898 firearm from my personal collection may be sold under this account and any such transaction is a personal sale in no way affiliated with Jeremiah Johnson Trading. Any such arm will be shipped to a licensed FFL or C&R holder in accordance with Federal law. All antique arms are sold as collector's items and are not warranted safe for shooting. Please consult a competent gunsmith prior to shooting any firearm.
