Description

A very rare early 19th-century American flintlock fowling rifle with a hair-trigger mechanism. The lock has been proof stamped with the rampant lion as it was later sold to the East India Company. The barrel was smoothbored at a later date, suggesting this firearm could have been used by the East India Company to supply native troops following the 1857 Indian Mutiny.

Length: 55 inches.
In good condition with a strong working action.
