Original Flintlock Fowler

[Feltwad]

I picked up an original flintlock fowler a week ago although not by a London maker more so a continental maker .The gun is half stocked with a 48 inch iron barrel and in 16 bore the lock is a standard lock of the period 1780 -1810 the proof marks are foreign the iron trigger guard is finished in a pineapple finial and a walnut plain stock so that makes it of the period not a bad example.

It may have a foreign barrel, but the rest of it's English.

Interesting. The pan is hard to see, looks odd in the pic. That side plate sure has a buncha screws. Enjoy.

Yes it has the English style but the barrel and the lock are stamped which is faint to see with foreign proof and makers marks .
The lock pan is a standard lock for the period not rain proof but with a roller frizzen , will try and get a close up of the lock
