Maker: Marked, Tower. Approx. Age: Circa Revolutionary War era. Size: Approx. .70 Cal. with a 42” barrel. Condition: Relic. For display. Tamping rod is not original. Wood has a nice patina for its age, but iron parts all have a slightly rusty finish. Additional Info: Flintlock rifle by Tower, AKA The Brown Bess. Comes with an article that appeared in “The Gun Report” 1967, which talks about a Brown Bess marked like this one, and also a home made rack for display. Marked, Tower and GR and a Crown on the lock area. Has a proof mark of G on the barrel.
