British BLAIR Short Land Pattern/Volunteer .75 FLINTLOCK Musket BROWN BESS
REVOLUTIONARY WAR Era MUSKET
Description: British BLAIR Short Land Pattern/Volunteer .75 FLINTLOCK Musket BROWN BESS REVOLUTIONARY WAR Era MUSKET Here we present an antique David Blair Short Land Pattern Brown Bess Flintlock Musket, made in Birmingham, England circa the late-18th to early 19th Century. David Blair was a gunmaker mainly in Birmingham and was active from at least 1782 until his death in 1814. This pattern of the Brown Bess Musket was devised during the American Revolutionary War and saw service in the colonies, the Napoleonic Wars, as well as the British invasion during the War of 1812. "Brown Bess" is a nickname of uncertain origin for the British Army's muzzle-loading smoothbore flintlock Land Pattern Musket and its derivatives. The musket design remained in use for over a hundred years with many incremental changes in its design. These versions include the Long Land Pattern, the Short Land Pattern, the India Pattern, the New Land Pattern Musket, and the Sea Service Musket. The Long Land Pattern musket and its derivatives, all .75 caliber flintlock muskets, were the standard long guns of the British Empire's land forces from 1722 until 1838, when they were superseded by a percussion cap smoothbore musket. The British Ordnance System converted many flintlocks into the new percussion system known as the Pattern 1839 Musket. A fire in 1841 at the Tower of London destroyed many muskets before they could be converted. Still, the Brown Bess saw service until the middle of the nineteenth century. Overall condition is good.
