Lot 101
Lot Description
.60 caliber. 36" pinned there-stage octagon to round barrel. SN: NSN. Browned finish, iron and brass furniture, full-length walnut stock. Percussion altered flint lock with the "{Tombstone-Fox/EB}" trademark forward of the percussion alteration hammer and marked in three lines at the tail "BARNETT/LONDON/1885". Breech with "{Crown}/JEB" for John Edward Barnett and a flag mark, with the London commercial proof, view and gauge marks mostly obscured. Traditional trade gun features include a brass three-screw serpent side plate, oversized iron triggerguard, flat brass buttplate, raised carved aprons at tang, rear of mortise and rear of counterpane and the ubiquitous corrugated pipes to hold a wood ramrod. Stock decorated with a few brass tacks in the butt behind the wrist and on the top of the wrist. A neat example of a late period trade gun made in flint in the mid-1880s, then altered to percussion and still used well into the cartridge firearm period.
This lot is located in Cincinnati.
