Early English Trade Gun

 circa 1740

This gun is typical of the early trade period. The earlier style brass parts are copied from original pieces dug up at datable sites in Georgia and Virginia. This gun has a thicker wrist and butt than the Type G and has a carved apron around the barrel tang typical of many early English trade guns. The wrist inlay is included but not inlet.

All parts needed to complete the assembly are included.
