British Flintlock Coaching Carbine By Barbar
.64 caliber, 16" round two-stage iron barrel with baluster turned rings as the transition. The breech of the barrel is stamped with two London proof marks, and an unidentified proof mark. The rounded lock with round goose-neck cock and rounded iron pan is marked Barbar, and features a unique latching safety device, a variant on the dog lock principle. The left side of the stock features an inlaid section of brass with a rotating sling swivel, instead of a side plate. The brass trigger guard features an acorn finial. The brass thumb rest features an engraved crest of an arm coming out of the ground holding a flag. Stock with brass tipped ramrod, one brass ferrule and a cupped brass buttplate.
Condition:
The iron barrel has some speckling. The brass has a very nice patina throughout. The stock has an old repair forward of the trigger guard. There is a crack on the fore end, beneath the muzzle, and another on the reverse between the flat and the trigger guard. The stock also shows scattered nicks and dings. The bore and action are very good.
If you are purchasing a firearm that requires an FFL or C&R and you do not have one, we can transfer the gun to a firearms dealer of your choice. We will transfer and ship the firearm to them, and they will then transfer it to you. Any charges for this service (which may include a background check) are between you and the dealer. If you come to Cowan’s in person to pick up your purchase(s), we can transfer a long gun to you directly. Handguns can only be transferred to Ohio residents.
