Rich,  The Fowler is 64 inches overall with a 48 inch barell. It  has a cherry stock,iron ramrod and the initials J.T. on the lock bolt plate and wrist inlay.The lock is a replacement and was on there when I got it. Some slivers of wood  are replaced along the barell. It looks like the same maker as N.E.19 in Tom Grinslade book FLINTLOCK FOWLERS  The First Guns in America.   JIM
