Lot Description
Contemporary Flintlock Fowler by Ken Netting
.62 caliber. 41" pinned octagon to round barrel with baluster turned rings at the transition. SN: NSN. Bright finish, brass furniture, hardwood stock. Single screw flint lock marked "NETTING". No other markings. Produced in the from of a middle 18th century musket fowler with wide 2.25" butt and shield shaped wrist escutcheon but otherwise of with the furniture and appearance of a more traditional fowler. Barrel and stock with applied patina to recreate the use typical of these dual purpose guns, this is a very nicely executed example that could pass for an authentic period piece at more than a few feet of distance.
