Lot Description
A 19th Century Percussion Altered Trade Fusil
Fur Trade Period

About .68 bore diameter. 44.5" octagonal to round barrel. SN: NSN. Browned metal finish to barrel and lock, with brass stock fixtures. Full walnut stock has cow's hoof style buttstock with slight Roman curve to it. Percussion altered action converted from flintlock at some point, with low profile blade front sight. Stock features brass fixtures around lock screws, cleaning rod guides, and buttplate. Lock features a flat high spur hammer and is marked with a manufacturer name. However, name is obscured due to pitting and wear, only the first character W and last two characters CE are legible. Barrel appears to be marked with simple scroll to octagonal portion in front of breech plug. Barrel also appears to have obscured marks that read ENA or something incomplete/similar on left side of octagonal portion. Included with item is a wood ramrod that does not appear original, possibly contemporary addition with "applied age". 

This lot is located in Cincinnati.
