"EDGE/1762" British Long Land Pattern Brown Bess Flintlock Musket

The lock on this musket is marked "EDGE/1762" on the tail and has the Georgian cipher at the center. The wrist escutcheon has a "C/4" marking. The barrel has a block front sight that doubles as the bayonet lug. The furniture is brass. These Long Land Pattern muskets were used through much of the 18th century across the British Empire, including in both the French & Indian War and American Revolution. This example dates to the latter part of the French & Indian War and larger Seven Years' War.

ConditionFair overall with attractive aged patina on the brass furniture, mix of dark brown patina and applied blue finish on the iron, oxidation, reconverted lock, spliced repairs in the stock, and general moderate overall wear suggesting this musket had a long and eventful service life. Mechanically fine.
