Baker Rifle Copy from Sharpe TV Series)

[Paratrooper]

This is my Baker Rifle,
It is alas only a copy but from one of my favourite TV Dramas Sharpe.
This particular piece has been Browned and shows twisting as did the origional as it was fitted with a Damascus Barrel.
It sparks superbly and until I become a rich man and can afford a real Baker Rifle this will fill the gap.
Anyone out there have a baker Rifle Bayonet for sale please let me know.

Regards

Jim

Great piece. The 'Sharpe' series is one of my favourite shows as well.
Both copies you've shown are extremely well made.........

Really nicely aged, great for the collection - they almost have an original patina going for them.

Pit.

There's forty shillings on the drum,
To those who volunteer to come,
To 'list and fight the foe today.
Over the Hills and far away.

Brilliant series, really great piece you have there too.

Excellent movie 'prop' piece-where was it made? A great deal of craftmanship on display there...

Thanks for sharing Jim and one fine looking rifle.

I believe most replica flintlock and percussion firearms are made
in either India, Italy or Japan. Maker ID should be engraved
or stamped near the breech.........?

[Paratrooper]

I will try and see if there is a mark on it when I get home.

Pulling up this thread to give a sample of 'Hagman'

"I beg your pardon Mr. Sharpe. She's dry as a bone
- she sparks every time she does........."

Is it a 'shootable' copy - or one of the inert copies? Still a nice rifle whatever it is!
