Flint Longrifle

[cositrike]

anyone out there know the name A. T. RUSSEL, or possibly A. TRUSSEL. I came across a flint long rifle at the American Museum, in Bath, England a few months back, with the above name on the lock. Wasn’t allowed to touch it, so not sure if there are any other markings. Looked possibly late. Ring neck cock and a roller on the frizzen spring.
Regards
Simon

An old post, but I thought I’d try again
