Title: Another possible Hills fowler
Post by: WESTbury on October 03, 2019, 04:49:18 AM
I believe this fowler has many characteristics of those made the Hills family. It was mis-identified as a Kentucky Flintlock Musket. Compare the close-up of the lock to that of the Hills fowler on pg 75 of Tom Grinslade's book, it is as close a match as could be expected.
