Opinions on this trigger guard
« on: January 06, 2022, 06:54:36 PM »
Is this style of guard associated with a certain school, maker or time period?

With that photo it looks like it’s steel. If it was brass it resembles Lancaster guards from 1770-1790 to me. In steel, it wouldn’t be seen on American longrifles with rare exceptions.

So, Lancaster style, non-typical iron mounts substituted.

Looks like a Bivins guard.
