This gun was made in New England in the early 19th century and may have originally been .54 caliber and rifled but is now smooth and approximately 24 bore. It has small blade and notch sights, an interesting takedown feature using two wedges and a silver banded joint in the forend, a single trigger, engraved brass furniture, silver wire inlays around the ramrod entry pipe finial and the grooved standing breech tang, and a checkered wrist.

Good as re-reconverted to flintlock with a mix of dark brown patina and applied artificial brown finish, moderate erosion at the breech, aged patina on the silver accents and brass furniture, general moderate overall wear, some cracks and chips in the wood, and visible but partially smoothed checkering. Mechanically fine.
