Original Item: Very Few Available. These are absolutely 100% original English manufacture, supplied to the British East India Company at the close of the 18th Century. Found in Kathmandu, Nepal in 2003, these were “left over” from British Brown Bess Muskets converted to percussion cap system in 1839.
These are not newly made reproductions and are over 200 years old. They are pretty much a universal to fit all Brown Bess Muskets from about 1750 onwards, but slight variations may occur and fitting is the responsibility of the buyer.
Offered just as we found them in uncleaned and untouched condition. Each is inspected to be very solid but will be covered in surface rust and grime, but will be free of major defects (such as cracks).
