SOLD REDUCED Restored 10 Ga English Fowler

[BigSkyRambler]

This is a nicely restored/refinished 10 gauge English fowler. The blued 32.5" barrel has a bore of .735 with light scattered pitting throughout. Nothing to preclude firing. The stock (unsure of species) has had the checkering refreshed. A few minor bumps and a small sliver gone on left forend at barrel. 14" LOP. Game birds engraved on lock and breech. Missing front bead. Should be a great shooter. (CMA statement) As with all antique firearms, it should be checked by a competent gunsmith before firing. $850 + Shipping

A little over 8lbs. Drop is 1.5" at comb and heel.

Are the barrels fluid steel?

Hard to tell. I detect no Damascus pattern through the blue. But I shoot a number of Damascus barreled guns - using proper loads.

Odd that it weighs that much. Maybe the mystery wood species?

Has grain like some Oak stocks I have seen. Barrel is pretty hefty as well.

Maybe Ash? Pretty wood, whatever it is.
