WILSON ENLISH FLINTLOCK CARBINE A rare British-made musket of the type used by American colonial soldiers during the American Revolution and often referred to as a smaller model of a "Brown Bess", a .560 cal. "Windus Pattern" musket with 27" round barrel bearing three British proofs on the top of the barrel. The bevel-style lock plate is clearly marked "WILSON", and the mechanism bears a beveled hammer, rounded pan, and brass furniture trigger guard . The top of the brass butt plate is additionally marked "CREMORNE". The full length walnut stock terminates at the front in a half-round brass trim, with a beaver tail behind the tang. The barrel has a nice dark brown patina, and the lock has been lightly cleaned. The hammer has been repaired, and the mechanism is tight and works perfectly. The stock has a nice dark red to brown untouched patina, with just a few scattered nicks and dings. Wilson manufactured this model between 1771 and 1807.
