Best known as the principal weapon used by British forces during the American Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, the Land Pattern musket, as known as the Brown Bess, was the longest serving firearm in Royal Army history.
Introduced in 1722, in an attempt to standardize firearms, the Land Pattern musket saw frontline service for over a century.
Firing a.75 caliber ball, the Land Pattern set the standard for flintlockmuskets.
