18TH CENTURY FOWLER WITH PURPORTED FRENCH & INDIAN WAR HISTORY.

18TH CENTURY FOWLER WITH PURPORTED FRENCH & INDIAN WAR HISTORY. SN NSN. Cal. 69. This old European fowler is almost 62″ overall with a 46-1/2″ part oct bbl with well-worn decorations near breech. The Ketland lock is replaced according to the commemorative plaque. We have no information on Capt. James Briggs and what his part was in “King George’s War”, the third of the French & Indian Wars, which took place in several British provinces including action at Fort Louisbourg, Nova Scotia. CONDITION: Gun overall is in good condition. Metal surfaces are brown, well-worn with scattered areas of rust and pitting. Brass furniture including decorative buttplate, ramrod pipes, escutcheon and trigger guard are cleaned showing yellow patina with numerous small scrapes, scratches and dings. Iron button-ended ramrod could be original to gun. Stock has several repairs including crack at wrist. Refinish to stock overall. Silver commemorative plaque is attached with 2 brass pins and we would guess the date of this would be 20th century. 4-44253 JS74 (3,000-4,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2011

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
