Description:
Antique NATIVE AMERICAN Tack Decorated NORTHWEST TRADE Musket w/SITTING FOX
BRITISH PROOFED Smoothbore 24 Bore Shotgun
Here we present an antique Native American Tack Decorated Northwest Trade Smoothbore made circa the mid-19th Century in Birmingham, England before being exported to the United States. These muskets would have been made to be trade items to isolated tribes throughout the growing United States and the practice actually predates the US as a country.
Muskets and long rifles were still in use at this time, though this was a period of great firearms technology development during which cartridge firearms and soon repeaters would become common. These would have been relatively inexpensive to manufacture and purchase and highly desirable to Native Americans who did not have access to many firearms, much less those on the cutting edge of technology. These tend to have been used hard and faced massive attrition due to conflict and exposure to the elements, even as this one demonstrates.
This example has a "Sitting Fox/EB" on the top at the breech and London proof and view marks flanking the 24 bore mark on the upper left at the breech.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The hammer has some wiggle but functions properly. Original brown barrel patina. Good bore. The stock is solid. The side plate is missing. Brass tack decorated stock. This is a fairly modest musket that has been there and done that and remains an important and tangible piece of American history.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 36 inches.
Caliber: 24 Bore (Estimated .69)
