* update~ the Pattern 1756 Brown Bess musket mentioned above appears to be a very rare survival a regimental marked gun from the 18th century. The number 51 appears faintly on the barrel and the escutcheon plate is marked as the 80th musket of the 1st company. This information appears to relate to the famous regiment that surrendered to the French in America in 1755,and were reformed and fought at the Battle of Minden in 1759. This gun appears to have american features and we believe it was originally used in america and through its provenance we believe it may have been used at Minden.
