O.K.

lets try this one.

the Lock is marked "Davidson"
its a fairly short longarm 52 inches long, sorry no overall pics of the gun
the muzzle is trumpeted a little bit, not sure if that is some kind of choking,
so i'm guessing it was a fowler of sorts. probably British.
2 crossed swords/rifles with a T above is stamped on the left side twice.
obviously no ramrod. front wood is cracked in a couple of places and worn very thin.
any ideas as to what it is ...or anything about the maker......

and this one will be for sale, so any ideas as to price would be again appreciated.

thanks in advance Sean

flintlock fowler

greetings- not much to go on but it looks like a pistol size tower lock with thmarks ground off. some north amer gunsmiths were doing this to use avail components rather than making them. if barrel lenth is 30" it could be a trade gun type. notice the frizzen spring looks broken. easy part to obtain. regards
 
please let me know what you'd like to get for it.I'm beginning a collection of trade guns.I only have a Barnett so far. thanks MURF
 
It looks like a flintlock fowler. There doesn't appear to be any evidence that it is a trade gun although they are worth more. Flintlock are usually worth 25% more than percussion. What does the tang area look like? Condition is everything, from what I can see I think around $300.
