Description:
A very interesting 19th century fowler that, appears to be about 8ga. as the bore measures at the muzzle about 75cal, loike an old Brown Bess as the breech end has military proof marks of Crossed scepters of Birmingham, England, almost 10 gauge but slightly larger than 12 ga. The barrel is smooth patina on the exterior and is about 35 1/2" ong with a smooth bore. Has an under barrelram-rod rib with ferrules and the ram-rod appears to be old , make of oak with a brass tip.The back action lock floriate engraved and with the name Mills works well, and fits the opening very well and the hammer matches the engraving, but the hammer froint lip hits the nipple which is still good. The wood loos like southern Ash and is good with a recoil stress crack , been there a long time, and at the back of the butt stock on the left side are sap striations natural for this type of wood. Has a good quality German Silver inlaid hunting hound with a hinged patch round door and a few percussion caps in the hole. Hammer has two solid clicks and the brass trigger guard appears to be a surplus European militay type . An intriguing America put together fowler that could talk .I find a Charles Miller gun maker of London sld through Powell & Sons of Cincinnati . When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have a web site .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You.
