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 than the Type G and has a carved apron around the barrel tang typical of many early English trade guns.
