.58 caliber. 36" 3-stage octagon to round pinned barrel. SN: NSN. Bright finish, brass and iron furniture, full-length walnut stock. Percussion altered flint lock marked "TRYON/PHILADA" in two vertical lines at the tail. Three screw serpent brass side plate, large iron triggerguard, flat screwed brass buttplate. Stock decorated with numerous brass tacks along the wrist and forend, as well as German silver oval discs. Small sling swivel added to forend, with hole in toe line behind triggerguard tang that probably held a screwed-in swivel at some point in time. Barrel altered to percussion via the drum bolster method. Single corrugated ramrod pipe secures an old wooden ramrod. Mr. Ness' notes indicate that this gun was brought to the Watertown gun show by a Native American family. The notes further indicate that the gun is pictured in Charles Hansen's book on Northwest guns, but no further reference was provided and the book was not readily available to reference.
