Item Description: Translate description
About 38 bore, 26'' part round part octagon barrels with turned medials at point of transition and moderately oxidized bores. The barrels of this nice little fowler retain generous original plum-brown finish showing some areas of old light pitting and oxidation a bit more noticeable approaching the muzzles. There is some light pitting and flint strike marks around the breeches, the vents are lined with German silver discs and the edges of the right lockplate are a little bit proud of the stock inlet but the arm otherwise appears to be original flint. The barrels show early crossed scepter proof marks and some light floral and foliate embellishments with ''London'' in script along the rib. The lockplates are more of a smooth smoky gray with slightly beveled edges, subtle steps at rear and bridled frizzens. They are lightly embellished with wide floral motifs and marked ''ADAMS'' in the centers. The brass fittings are quite attractive consisting of a single ramrod thimble, large nosecap, very long tang triggerguard, buttplate and a very fine panoply of arms monogram plate atop the wrist. The fittings show light floral and foliate engraving, the heel of the buttplate with an old scuff, and the triggerguard with a lovely acorn finial. The monogram plate is neatly engraved with the Campbell-Colquhoun family crest and motto ''Omnia firmat''. The walnut stock rates about very fine showing a couple of thin cracks around the lockplates and some small repairs along the edges of the forend, one measuring about 4 1/2'' on the left side through the key slot. The stock otherwise shows nice grain figure throughout the butt and retains fine drop points and carved foliate motif behind upper tang. What is likely the original brass-tipped ramrod with worm end is present, the arm is sighted with a silver blade front sight and the locks are functional. An interesting smallbore flintlock double. (13B11896-43) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)
