Lot #1297:
(A) COMPOSITE FLINTLOCK RAMPART OR PUNT GUN MARKED FOR THE HUDSON BAY FUR COMPANY.
Assembled in the 20th century from what appears to be a George Laloux African trade elephant musket. Liege proofed octagon to round barrel with brass bead sight. Top flat has added "HUDSON BAY FUR CO." marking. Flintlock appears to have had its lockplate ground flat. Softwood stock with standard bright finished steel mounts. A wrought iron pintel is added at the mid-barrel band. CONDITION: Very Good as assembled. Metal is mostly bright. Stock has been sanded and reoiled with scattered staining. Bore has some orange peel. Lock functions correctly although the flint is over sized.
