British flintlock carbine, circa early 19th century, signed Thomas Parsons, Salisbury. The gun measures 36” overall with a 20-1/4” medium weight barrel, which is slightly flared at the muzzle, made in two stages.Approx. .69 caliber smoothbore. The gun is nicely half-stocked with a checkered wrist, plain brass mounts with a horn forend cap and rib mounted on bottom of barrel to accept ramrod. The metal surfaces show a grey tobrown patina finish, some light to slightly heavy scattered erosion and pitting. The heavier pitting on the hammer, breech area, and a few places on barrel. The signature is crisp, wood is good to very good with a light overcoating of varnish but no evidence of sanding. An original style ramrod is included. An interesting carbine with a military look which was possibly a private purchase by military officer. Est: $1250 -2500
