Found this old gal in an antique store today..it was among a pile of other old BP guns in various states of disrepair. I'd been to this shop before, its about 30 minutes from Athens Ga, and the shop owner is 'proud' of his stuff, if ya know what I mean. This one was towards the back, covered in dust..it looked interesting, and I asked about it.
"Forgot I even had that one. How's $150?"
So it came home. Its interesting. Took the plate off, found a proof mark of some sort, and the word 'HOLLAND'.
The barrel has the remnants of a couple of proofs.
Gotta love the brass fish inlays.
Really pretty EIC lion, looks like a pattern F(?)
Its rough, but will make a nice display piece. I have to wonder if it was a Confederate arm. Check out the pics, would love to hear some thoughts!
