Hello Rick,
What a wonderful piece of history, Thank you so much for sharing it with us! The very first Brown Bess I ever bought was still loaded. It had come from an old farmhouse, and somebody had obviously tried to remove it long ago, using what appeared to be a bicycle spoke, which was also firmly lodged down the barrel! Kind regards, Chris |

Thanks for all your comments on my collection. I have only one more Ethno pistol left to Post next weekend. The rest of my gun collection are original European/American antiques and contemporary, custom made replicas for shooting. But my primary collecting/shooting interest is the Ethno guns. Just thought of this.......I will Post my collection of Ethno detached locks. From mint condition pieces to parts locks for scavaging spare parts to use or copy from. LOL Rick. |

Yes, this one is nice and light weight. Not barrel heavy like my full size piece. Rick. |

Thanks for your response. The bicycle spoke is funny.  I once owned an original 3rd Model Brown Bess that I bought as a teenager in 1965/66. Paid $125.00USD for it. And shot it frequently. Should have never sold it.  Rick. |

You should most certainly have kept it, I still have mine, she kicks like a mule, and I love her dearly! As they say, hindsight is always 20:20! But from the looks of your very fine collection, you seem to be doing alright! All the best, Chris |
