(A) DELICATE FOWLER IDENTIFIED TO A E WARNER, MADE BY HASLETT.

Lot # 1319 (Sale Order: 319 of 326)      

Round browned Damascus barrel with bead front sight, short (approximately 4") sighting plane with "BALTIMORE" poincon at tang (probably originally included "HASLETT"), with an 8-pointed starburst at end of plane. Underside of barrels with "700", American eagle head proofs, "ARROW", and a half-legible "TWISTED", indicative of Damascus construction. Bone tipped ramrod, possibly the original, retained by a pair of ferrules on a half length rib, before feeding into a reinforced spearpoint finial. Barrel retained by pair keys through German silver escutcheons. Banana lock, originally flint, with beveled edges and light floral scroll, stepped, with stiff leaf line engraving at step. "HASLET" poincon in center of lock. Single lockbolt with gilt rays around male end and simple escutcheon. Percussion conversion achieved via drum and dolphin form cock. Some engraving appears to have been added post conversion to percussion as engraving is cut over replaced small parts. Trigger guard with a spray of florals, pineapple finial, with traces of gilding. Flowing, jaeger-ian trigger guard with an 12 pointed star. Checkered wrist, iron buttplate with spearpoint heel that has a single stroke of gold. Silver oval on toe line that reads a softened "AE Warner"; research indicates that Andrew Ellicott Warner was a silversmith in Baltimore, born 1786 and died 1870. Warner's touchmark was also A E Warner, and its possible that this was a special order by the silversmith. Accompanied by an inventory sheet and photos of this gun. CONDITION: Barrel with regilt areas that have softened the legibility and sharp edges, with balance a fairly smooth patina with patination at muzzle and around drum, with flashes of grey at mid-point that reveals Damascus twist. Lock is heavily softened as reconverted, and poincon regilt. Stock good with evidence of heavy field use, including numerous bumps and chips, crack through lockbolt escutcheon. Trigger guard revarnished, as silver is lacquered. Mechanically fine, bore is very good with a minimum of oxidation. A nice example of what was clearly a well-loved piece, as the gun was brought to the percussion age when it became appropriate. Barrel Length: 34 - 3/4" FFL Status: Antique Gauge: 16 Bore Manufacturer: Haslett Model: Fowler Paperwork: Information Serial Number: NSN
