Hello, I stumbled across this site while trying to find information regarding a flintlock I acquired through family. I don’t have much information but I was hoping someone might be able to share some knowledge. I’ll post pictures as soon as I get a chance.
I have three, one unknown percussion cap (maybe French) musket? No markings. A “Needham Conversion” Bridesburg. And a Tower “brown bess”? It has the crown with GR and another mark with what looks like a crown with an arrow going through it, on the stock it has a stamp that I think says 1806. On the underside on the stock it has a PR and RF stamp, a few other markings…it’s not in the greatest shape.
