A Brown Bess flintlock musket, India pattern dating: Early 19th Century provenance: United Kingdom, Smoothbore, round barrel, with a reinforcing ring at the breech, marked on the powder chamber with a British military acceptance stamp, mark “SG” and proof mark (Birmingham?). 18.5 mm cal. at the nozzle. Foresight also serving as clutch for the bayonet. Tang with inspection stamp. Lock marked “TOWER” and with the royal cypher “GR” and remains of a crowned Broad Arrow. Working mechanism. Wooden full stock with remains of an “R” mark on the butt stock. Brass mounts. Iron ramrod. Condition fair to good. The initials "SG" with the Birmingham proof mark on the barrel are probably the mark of Samuel Galton, a leading Birmingham arms manufacturer who was active in the production of British military weapons between the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
