Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. The Land Pattern musket was introduced in 1722. Both the musket and its bayonet evolved over time, until superseded by the India Pattern at the close of the 18th Century.
This example is of the Pattern 1727, and likely dates from the late 18th Century. Distinguishing characteristics include: a wide blade, with a concave face and prominent circular guard. Elbow is flush with the socket front and extends well-forward of the socket. There are multiple markings on the “ricasso” area of the blade and appears to be L.H. and an X. The first marking is rather faint and partially incomplete making it difficult to identify the manufacturer.
A lovely Revolutionary War era British made bayonet ready for further research and display.
"Brown Bess" is a nickname of uncertain origin for the British Army's muzzle-loading smoothbore flintlock Land Pattern Musket and its derivatives. The musket design remained in use for over a hundred years with many incremental changes in its design. These versions include the Long Land Pattern, the Short Land Pattern, the India Pattern, the New Land Pattern Musket and the Sea Service Musket.
