    Buying a Brown Bess

    Your thoughts please gents...

    What are the chances of finding a good Brown Bess for around the £800 mark? Doesn't have to be a shooter but not too pitted either. I've checked the online dealers but not much there so wondered if anyone here knows of any.

    Cheapest I've seen an original lately has been £1000+
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    Somewhere between NIL and NON-EXISTANT

    Figure on £1500 up as a minimum for a 39" India Pattern

    £2500 plus for a 42"
