"Indian Trade Fusil by Barnett, London (AL5063)
Description: "Indian trade fusil by Barnett, London. Barnett provided trade guns to the American Fur Company, per Von Damm’s, The Fur Trade, p.164. This percussion Indian trade fusil has a 42⅛" octagon to round approximately .60 caliber barrel with two “wedding bands". Bore is very good. Metal has a smooth dark patina. Lock is mostly bright with some staining. It is dated 1871 to the rear and has Barnett/ London (**ndon is missing) at the center. Hammer is lightly engraved. There is the typical large iron trigger guard, a brass serpent side plate, and two ramrod pipes. Barrel is marked from muzzle to breech crown/ P/ 24/ crown V/ (what appears to be a flag)/ crown/ J.E.B. The stock is very good with much of original finish. There is a small cracked area on the right at the rear cross pin. There is a brass reinforcement band at the tip. The heavy brass butt plate is secured by five screws. The ramrod is present. Action functions correctly. Overall, this is a very nice example of a very scarce Indian trade fusil. It is especially desirable because the barrel is still full length, many were shortened during use. Antique: Yes Price: $3,995.00 Contact Seller |
