Barnett Livery Short Musket Muzzleloader .75 Cal Muzzleloader Rifle

A volunteer or livery short musket by Barnett of the Minories , London . 28" barrel of approximately ten bore , regulation brass mounts , steel ramrod . London proofs , inspector's mark to wood and rack number "5" to buttplate . In remarkable unworn , original condition with lovely woodwork and clean bore . Enormously strong main and frizzen springs with the lock working on full and half cock and making a strong spark .Probably purchased in a small batch for a local militia , hence the low rack number and apparent lack of use . A very good example and very good value at £695 . Can be viewed /collected from Hastings or posted UK for £15 . Thanks for looking "!
