This is an extremely nice Federal period percussion fowler, the barrel converted from flint with a drum conversion, but the lockplate made in percussion. The lockplate is handsomely engraved, and named "R.S. Clark." The barrel is half-octagon. The stock has a curved Kentucky style butt, with a cheek rest. There are two brass inlays on the stock: one of and very simple eagle, the other an arrow through an apple. The lock holds on safe, but does not fully cock.
The lock is English made. R.S Clark (or Clarke) manufactured guns and gun parts, many of which made their way to America.
Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $ 68.00 plus 1.5% replacement and insurance. Please note we do not accept credit cards.
Overall condition is very good plus to excellent for age, but the lock does not hold on full cock, and there is a tiny sliver of wood missing behind the hammer. Witherells strives to provide as much information and photographs as possible but encourages in-person inspection by bidders.

All lots are sold "AS IS" under the Terms & Conditions.
