- Lot Description
A beautiful flintlock fowler in 12 gauge, by the Scottish gun maker Haugh of Dumfries, and so marked on the lockplate, as well as in a gold cartouche on the breech. The barrel is Damascus, and the mounts are beautifully engraved steel, with a pineapple finial on the trigger guard, and motifs that include hounds, a St. Andrew’s cross, a partridge, and other sporting motifs. The ramrod is wooden, mounted on a steel rib. There is beautifully executed checkering on the wrist. The gold includes a line on the breech, the maker’s cartouche, and the touch hole surround. The gun is extraordinarily light, and the workmanship is clean and elegant. Dimensions: The gun is 53.5 inches long overall, and the barrel is 38 inches. Processing and Shipping within the continental U.S. $105.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance.
Excellent condition, with almost all of its original brown finish. The gold is completely intact, so I suspect that the gun was seldom fired. The stock has a few minor surface scratches, but appears to retain its original varnish. Witherell's strives to provide as much information and photographs as possible but encourages in-person inspection by bidders. Condition statements are only for general guidance and should not be relied upon as complete statements of fact and do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Witherell's. All lots are sold "AS IS" under terms and conditions.Condition
