The "Brown Bess" is I think the weapon with the longest "in service" period
with the English (British) Army without significant modification. From the
time of Marlborough to Wellington. Longer, too in India. I think that only
the venerable Colt 1911 can run it anywhere close. After that? The Mauser
1896 rifle?
