    Possible 17th Century Doglock Barrel and Stock.

    Hello all. I'm an old member, but not posted for many years. When I first started in this hobby, and made my first posts, I was young and very naïve about old muskets. But now that I have a bit more experience and have been able to do research of my own I'd like to get some fresh opinions on...

    Irish Brown Bess Manufacturers

    It seems that I yet again need some help. I recently heard about Irish Brown Bess muskets and I saw one particular model ( a third model type 2, made after 1809) and wondered what Irish manufacturer it could have been made by. I've only heard of Dublin Castle as a manufacturer but I wanted to...

    EIC P-1771 Brown Bess

    I've been looking through IMA's online stock and I keep seeing their EIC P-1771 Brown Bess muskets and don't really know much about them. I wanted to buy one but I need a bit more info on the musket so I was wondering if any of you helpful chaps could tell me a little about this musket. Cheers...

    I.Cook? Who is this maker?

    I hope this is the right category to ask, correct me if I am wrong. I recently saw a flintlock that looks very similar to a Brown Bess carbine and the maker I.Cook was on the side of the lock and was just wondering who this maker was and where he worked and what date he worked. Many thanks. T4M

    Charleville Dragoon Bayonet?

    I recently saw a Charleville Dragoon carbine for sale and wondered if they would have taken a bayonet? Or designed for a bayonet? Any thoughts?

    Who knows anything about this naval cannon?

    I was recently given this cannon and as usual I know nearly nothing about what I own. From the look I guessed it was a naval cannon instead of regular artillery because of the distinct carriage. There are also hooks for rope around the carriage and the wheels obviously wouldn't be used on land...

    Percussion Musket. Need help.

    I have another old gun that I picked up for £100 like my other gun and I don't know much about this one either. It came from the same load as my other one from India and was used in the Indian Mutiny by Sepoys, I think. It looks kind of like an 1853 Enfield but there are differences and...

    Old Musket. Need Help.

    I have this old gun I picked up in an antique shop for £100 and I don't know a whole lot about it. What I do know is that it was bought by the previous owner from a load that came back to England after storage in a now closed down armoury in India. I guessed it was used in the Indian Mutiny of...
