EIC Brown Bess Musket Questions
Published (2009-12-02 22:31:31)
Larry, David Harding describes the Jaipur markings in his excellent "Small Arms of the East India Company": "Many old arms have been sold off by Jaipur state, and also bear modern Indian police registration marks, in this case stamped in large capitals, anywhere on the breech. A typical example reads JPR/EXR/123." When describing marks from Hyderabad state, he states that these marks were added in the...

nepal brunswick nipple
Published (2009-12-05 17:00:19)
A 1/4 inch closed end wrench fits nicely on this nipple on my P-1837 Brunswick from IMA, but as I mentioned in an earlier post, it appears to be taller and narrower than the nipples found on other Nepal muskets, i.e. the P-1853 Enfield. See the earlier discussion under "Who made the Brunswick Rifles?" Here's a picture:

Parker Hale Enfield 1853 patch
Published (2009-12-03 15:39:25)
Hi Damon, I found one Parker-Hale patch--circular with the PH logo in the middle, and Parker-Hale England embroidered around the edges. Is that the one you were looking for? If I recall, it came with a Parker Hale Enfield I bought back around 1973. I am trying to remember if there was a second patch and I shall keep looking if that is not the right one. At any rate, if you want the one I found, I will be happy to send it to you. tom

This is a case where clear photos are necessary. The LONDON on the lock plate is meaningless on its own. It can mean that the item was made by Edward London of London Wall, or that it was by a London maker, or that it was made in Birmingham, or somewhere else in England, or even Liege. The crowned V may well be the London Proof House View Mark but there should normally be the London Proof Mark as well. The initials VF would indicate the maker...

I like it. It seems to be a seriously made weapon, not a bazaar knock-off for the tourist trade, with a fine crest composed of the name Kabul and a number. Can anone here read Dari? Patrick

Good salvage job of a unique piece. You wont likely see another one in the field soon. I cant help but wonder if the owner had a wrist injury that wouldnt allow him to grasp a straight wrist?

The last issue of Man at Arms had an article on the Kabul Arsenal. It was largely British equipped and the supervisor was Welsh. Whether this gun was made there or not, I can't say but several different arms, aside from Martini's were made there.

I would imagine a musket-size nipple wrench. Generally speaking nipple wrenches come in three different sizes; revolver, rifle/pistol, & musket.

I have no knowledge of a British equipped arsenal at Kabul but that is not to say that there was not such a one. It is just that it lies outside my knowledge
area.

Heres a couple shots of her after the main damage was repaired, breaks were pinned and acraglassed back together.
I have finished most of the other damage since this and have yet to put them on photobucket I will do that after work in the morning.
She really feels great in the hand and shoulders quite well, Indeed shes going to be a fine partridge/rabbit popper for me!

Thank you very much, Bill, for the information. From your analysis, it sounds like this musket was assembled from available parts sometime after the
appearance of the Baker Pattern in 1819. Is this unusual, or was it common practise for weapons to be assembled from different models or patterns, perhaps to
fulfill specific Company requirements? Also, do the 5 punch marks that appear in various ...

Welcome to the forums Stefan.
I know very little about musketry, but we do have several well versed types here. If you need help with picture posting, leave a message here or PM me and I

I have a Parker Hale .451 Volunteer, which is an early one 1980. I have shot this with Lee Real bullets as cast ,these are 200 grns and shoot well out to 100
yds. I use 25 grns of Pyrodex RS. My rifle has a sight fitted on the wrist which is easy to use.
I also shoot the 500grn bullets which I size to .451, these I shoot with 50 grns of Pyrodex.
