Here is a Thomas Holbrook Fowler.  Feels like a feather at 6 pounds 8 oz. Waynesboro, Virginia Show last month. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving.

Thanks for sharing. Great architecture. So many of the New England guns of that period have  French styling and French parts.

Love the story and the look with that long barrel and swept back trigger. Is that sort of trigger common on guns from this time and place?
