British Ordnance Muskets is a comprehensive and detailed examination of 18 ordnance muskets from the 1830s and 1840s. In addition to providing a historical account and intricate details of these muskets, which marked a significant transition from flintlock to percussion arms during the Ordnance's era, the book also delves into the impact of two arms shortages and material losses incurred in the Tower of London fire (1841) and the obsolescence of all existing arms for the Militia and Volunteers. By consulting original records, author Adrian Roads sheds light on the backgrounds, motivations, and working capabilities of the gun contractors involved. The book includes numerous appendices that facilitate in-depth research into any British ordnance percussion musket held in a collection or under consideration for acquisition, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, students of arms, and collectors alike.
