This 12 bore flint is fun to shoot.

Technically not classed as a shotgun - it is smooth and 10 bore - Brown Bess Model of 1728 - shoots birds like a shotgun- slow steady swing. As with the modles of that period, it has a wooden rod, not steel as later models. Also, there is no bayonette lug, per-se' but uses a plug bayonette. When the charge commences, the bayoette is shoved into the muzzle - poke away soldiers.
This Bayonette, built by my brother is typical of a plug-bayonette of that period - however, this one has an ebony haft, not green-hart or purple hart as the orignals were, I think - although might have been Elm or even Yew.
The gun is gone, sold, but I still have the bayonette. It's scabbard holds the bayonette as well as a hawk, on appropriate angles for grasping and use.
