The piece would have had to be made after 1800 since it was at that time Henry Tatham left Tatham & Egg, whom he'd partnered with in 1760, to venture out on his own to start Tatham & Son which lasted until 1865. The trade gun is London made but of French musket styling on the assumption that the native population of Canada still preferred French trade gun patterns.

Interesting lashup on those sling swivels. They seem close together too, but I don't know how long that great gun might be. The barrel bands might have had some role in it's survival til today too. Interesting mind food looking at that one. Thanks for the great post!
 
Sort of a London made copy of a light Charleville infantry musket of the late 1700's with minor changes. Not sure how taken the Canadian Native population was with French military guns but did have a history with the Tulle and other trade guns. Just found it an interesting copy with musket features and trade gun trigger guard, would be a fun one to copy.
 
I'm quite interested in the hammer (frizzen). Condition appears to virtually new. Is that because, replacement part, complete lack of use, or were the hammers just that hard? All of my contemporary flintlocks show more hammer wear. Just wondering.
