A small portion of the nearly 1000 Brown Besses that Williamsburg currently has, including a large number of reproductions, as well as originals from the Tower of London collection

Thank you for sharing those pictures with us. The Governor's Palace where many of the Brown Bess (over 100) are displayed is truly impressive. The Armory is too.

Unfortunately, I just missed the sole "sea service" bess in the armory collection, as it was out on loan. I was kind of looking forward to that after "Master and Commander". :)
The governors palace is truly impressive. I have pictures, but they're of even lower quality than these.
I was most interested to see flints in almost all of the dogheads, as well as brass flashguards on all of the reproductions. They made extensive use of lead to hold the flint in place. They based the arrangement on dogheads found at the Williamsburg site. Interesting, as it's different from the ones I've pounded out using cast roundballs.
I'm not sure what the pistols were.

Thanks for sharing the Pics PS. You may not need a better camera as much as you think. You might just need a slower film speed. Some of the pics like the lock detail are a little grainy which is caused by having too fast of a film speed.

Now, if you was using a digital camera, I need to borrow a line from Natilda and say......."Never Mind".

Anyway, thanks for sharing. It makes me want to go there.

I'll never forget, on my first trip to Williamsburg, I was not gun savvy and asked the tour guide..."how many of these are origional?" and got the firm answer...."all of them sir!".
There was one building that had muskets in a circle around the ceiling!
