This Indian Trade Gun is totally untouched and right out of the woods.  I just acquired it at the Denver Show. The .60 cal barrel is 41 1/4" o/a with post 1813 Birmingham proofs and a Seated Fox in the Circle.  Originally made in Flintlock it was converted to percussion during it's period of use. The lock is stiff and could use a new springs but the gun is so untouched I'd leave it alone. The butt plate has been removed during it's period of use as it was useless to the Indians. They would use them as hide scrapers. The stocks has many inlays of which most are missing but still retains a good looking Man in the Moon on it's butt stock.   In the book "Great Gunmakers for the Early West" by James D. Gordon he states that once the decision was made by the British to arm the Indians the govt. contracted with 16 Birmingham gunmakers to produce some 26,000 weapons,including Nothwest guns,Cheif's guns, and a few rifles and pistols.  This would have been one of those guns.  A very desirable early 19th century Indian Trade Gun which are getting extremely hard to find.
