- Lot Description
1.5" flared canon muzzle, .73" at breech, pinned 15.8" round brass barrel with baluster turned rings at the breech and the transition to the canon muzzle. 6" slightly rounded iron lock with pointed tail, marked WATERS behind the hammer, and British crown forward of hammer. Unbridled, rounded iron pan with fence. Rounded swan neck cock. Barrel marked PROVED in two arced lines at the breech. Brass furniture including acorn wrist escutcheon, buttplate, flat S-shaped sideplate, triggerguard and two ramrod pipes. Brass tipped wood rammer with iron wiper at end. Consignor notes indicate that they feel the gun was assembled in America circa 1800.
Provenance: The William Locke Collection (pictured on pages 419-420 of Seller's book), The DuPont Collection, Mel Flanagan collection via John Gangle.
Good to very good overall. Brass with a nice butterscotch patina, lock with a dusky blue-gray and oxidized brown patina. Stock with some minor chips around the lock, as well as scattered nicks and dings. Lock mechanically functional, but a re-conversion to flint, as the pan has been welded to the lock.Condition
