A British .76 calibre percussion musket
A British .76 calibre percussion musket, barrel 39 in., percussion breech threaded on, Birmingham control marks to both parts and an older London view mark in front of the seam, lock marked 'TOWER' and with a crown (both possibly spurious), stocked to within 4 in. of the muzzle with brass furniture including two ram rod pipes, stock secured with pins, iron sling swivels, button head ram rod. The general configuration conforms to the India pattern musket - presumably a trade conversion to percussion, possibly for export.
