    My father wrote a clause in the contract for his musket to be returned to his heir if ever taken off display, it was taken off display and the Alamo upheld the contract.

    Man you’d thought I committed a crime for posting a for sale bess in the classified. Thank y’all who showed interest and I’ll talk to rock island island also. I came here first as I had a thread open when I actually went through the battle of getting it and some good advice was offered.

    Gun in Alamo

    I got ahold of Erik Goldstein. He said it is an Irish Dublin Castle pattern 1777. One thing I’ve noticed about this musket is the Ramrod looks to be one of a French musket, possibly a Charville musket. Could’ve been picked up in battle! Seems likely this musket did come into the US through...
