Two cartouches, nice even patina, with a nice bore. A very tight and strong carbine. Additional images available. Shows saddle holster wear and has had the bar and ring removed to eliminate noise. Rear side has been altered and fixed.
All signs point to a gun used on the western scene for buffalo hunting and Indian warfare.
A nice model 1795 Buell, reconversion to flintlock. See page 436 in Flalyderman. Additional images available. Springfield conversion by Leman of Pennsylvania. Nipple is replaced and the rod is slightly short.
