This smooth bore fowling piece is adorned with raised carving, engraving and brass wire inlay.  The Queen Ann round face lock was finished armory bright.  The gun has a hooked breech and barrel keys to facilitate easy cleaning.  A gun of this type will handle either shot or ball.  The wide flat early butt plate makes it easy on the shoulder even with heavy loads.
