- Description:
English 16 gauge fowling piece. This item is a better than average example of an English percussion fowling piece. The lock plate shows edge engraving and is marked Smith & Walker. This could be a maker or the dealer who originally sold this item. This shotgun shows a 41 1/2" barrel, english proofs and octagonal for 12 1/2" to the weading ring. The barrel shows an overall even brown petina, no pitting and an excellent appearance. The overall length is 57 3/4". The wood is plain but in overall sound condition without breaks or cracks. The rod is a replacement but matches the gun perfectly . The lock is a percussion conversion from flint and is mechanically sound. An excellent fowling piece or a great decorator. Antique - no permit required.
