With an overall length of 87-1/2", this gun is truly incredible. The lock appears to be off of a Potsdam musket as is the trigger guard. The gun appears to have been homemade and we are guessing it is from 1830-1855. It has been fashioned with a sheet brass tacked in place. The bore measures 1-1/2" across! The one piece stock appears to be made of either oak or hickory. The gun is certainly an American creation for market hunting in this country. CONDITION: As found and fashioned. Appears mostly original with metal parts that have turned brown. Stocks with some cracking and handling marks. This gun is an incredible discussion piece and would be the talk of the town at any gun show!
This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.
