Original British Tower Marked 3rd Model Brown Bess Musket Converted to Percussion - circa 1796 Hotchkiss MG with no tearingOriginal Item: Only One Available. The Nepalese cache purchase of 2003 is truly the gift that keeps on giving, even after almost 20 years! Among other percussion arms we recently unearthed this, a very nice example of a British Third Model Brown Bess, with the 39" barrel adopted in 1796. It was later converted to Percussion, either before or after service in Nepal, and has been fully cleaned and restored. It still retains the original British markings
