This is a very nice fowler made by Chuck Hinkle. It has been snapped but I don't think it has been fired.

 The stock is curly maple with a medium stain. The lock is a Chamber's early Ketland flint. The barrel is a Rice 38" long oct-round in 12 gauge and has a touch hole liner. It also has a hook breech but no keys. You would need to drive out the pins to remove the barrel. The barrel, lock and other iron parts are browned with a nice aged appearance. The brass parts are polished to a satin finish, as would be correct for the period, and have a slight patina from handling. Very well made gun with tight inlets and quality parts. If this were in my collection, I would add keys to the barrel for easier removal and the brass is also calling out for some engraving.

The gun holds and points very well and should be a good shooter for hunting.
