Howdy!!
My brother stopped by yesterday afternoon, and with the words „Merry Christmas!“ handling me a huge carbonbox. I opened the box and a gun came up. LOOOONNGG one too.
Pretty beat up stock in the muzzle section – Perkussion lock.
As we had tea, we talked abut this gun and he send me some pics, he took earlier this year and still had on his cell.
Here is my thinking: The lock is converted to percussion, cause of its „banana shape“.
The wide buttplate tells me it might be around 1750??
The gun is abot 1.5 meters long.
Smoothbore around 16mm diameter.
I do not have any other information on the gun, so I think I better ask a specialist, thats the reason I show it to you.
I really hope the specialts here on the board could tell me somsthing about it, maybe by looking at ist archtecture etc.?
Could you guys put eastimated date on it?
I know ist hard with those rather poor pics, but still….
I would be glad if you could help
