That is one short Bess. It's not that short Besses weren't made, but that the normal Bess was 44" (First Pattern), 42" and then India Pattern 39" (used during the Napoleonic Wars).
I'm going to take my First Model (44") to school to work on the sear spring. It's way too strong. I need the repair points (we have to earn 750 points this semester on repair work).
