Description:
NSN, .64 Caliber (16 Bore), 34" octagon-breech barrel with a fair-good, lightly pitted bore. This is a very handsome fowler, built along classic long rifle lines, that has an overall plum-brown patina on the metal, with moderate pitting at the barrel breech, and some minor marks and blemishes present on both the barrel and "CHANCE" marked lockplate. The hammer has floral engraving that closely matches the lockplate engraving, however there are still some rough tool marks on the head of the hammer, as well as on the nipple drum and forward top edge of the lockplate. Delicate, rifle type front and rear sights remain on top of the barrel. The pin-fastened full-length stock has a dull yellow-ochre patina on the brass nosecap, ramrod thimbles, trigger guard, and buttplate, while the nicely striped wood has numerous small handling marks scattered throughout, as well as some old grain separations present on the toe of the butt on the right side. The fowler has a period iron-tipped ramrod, and is in very good condition overall. This was probably a product of William Chance, a London gunmaker who operated in the early to mid-19th century, and made guns for export to North America. Antique;
