This is a copy of the the famous "Cookson" fowler circa 1750. The original gun was made by a Boston gunsmith using recycled parts from an early 18th century piece. The style at the time was to copy French fowlers, so the end result was a long barreled gun with a graceful drop to the stock. The barrel is .69 caliber and is 51" long. This is the longest production musket ever! As long as it is, the stock is slender and graceful so it weighs in at only 8.8 lbs, which is less than an Italian Charleville. Overall length is 68".
Here is the early 3-screw Queen Anne style doglock. It has a flat topped frizzen with no external bridle. The lockplate is marked "I. Cookson". Note the early style triggerguard. The flat serpent sideplate is an early feature. Sometimes originals had a dragon's head, sometimes not. The barrel is three-stage octagon to round. The barrel tang screw comes up from the bottom, another early feature.
Very clean bore, sparks great, proper lock up. Gentleman I bought it from shot it and was very happy.
$750 shipped (this is very long rifle)
