(6) Original British Brown Bess Gun Flints, Napoleonic War Era (@1798)

Description: (6) ORIGINAL BROWN BESS GUN FLINTS. Here are some interesting items. These are original Brown Bess musket flints that were made to regulation pattern in Brandon, County of Suffolk, England in the late 1700s and early 1800s as England was preparing for invasion by Napoleon. They were later stored in the Royal Armory of Nepal under British control where they lay forgotten for almost 200 years. (For more on these fascinating artifacts, I would recommend the book "TREASURE is where you find it..." by Christian Cranmer, in association with International Antiques, Inc. Published by Tharston Press, England 2004.) There were 3 types of flints knapped at the time, British Black, English Grey and French Amber. (This lot is mostly black and grey.) These are not "type" photos, these are the actual flints you will receive. They are in very good condition with minor early damage, so check the photos to see how they work for you because these are the flints you will receive. (I offer 1-day shipping as a matter of course, and often ship the same day payment is received. I figure once you've paid for an item, you own it, and might as well have it as soon as possible.) As with all of my artifacts, these are guaranteed authentic for life. I COMBINE SHIPPING, so if you are buying multiple auction items, please don't pay until I send you a COMBINED SHIPPING INVOICE. Additional items may cost very little more, if anything, for shipping. MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: If you are not satisfied with this item for any reason, return it undamaged within 60 days for a full refund, less return shipping. SALES TAX: Colorado residents will be charged 8.9% sales tax. Other states that require sales tax paid for mail order purchases will be charged the applicable tax for that state. .
