Description:
A very interesting East India Co. musket for .58 cal., 50 1/2” part round part octagon barrel with an oxidized bore. Overall length is about 66 /2" long. The barrel, side plate and buttplate are toning to a soft brown patina, with salt and pepper fine pitting from age, while the remaining metal surfaces have aged to a pewter hue with light pitting throughout. The brass ferrules, tail pipe and ramrod head display a warm mustard patina. The left quarter flat of the barrel is marked with two British proofs along with “30” and the lockplate is stamped “WARRANTED” behind the cock and “& S / (Indian elephant)” ahead. The elegant and svelte smooth hardwood stock rates good with a filled repair and multiple cracks overall and the stock remains structurally sound. the iron butt=plate has lost a screw I will replace it beofre shipping.This flintlock rifle appears to not be safe enough to shoot,as the breech plug is not stourt enough to handle a charge, so it is sold as a shooter, and the half cock notch is worn but the action otherwise functions properly and a wood and metal ramrod is included. This attractive long fowler will make an excellent conversation piece and wall-hanger.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.
