Original British EIC Company Musket by Manton and Company London Lock Assembly 5 inch RMLOriginal Item: Only One Available. In the early 1830s the British East India Company started looking for a Percussion Musket to replace the Brown Bess. Many gun makers were approached but Manton of London played a considerable part in the development of what later became known as "The Company Musket".
