Side plate identification
« on: April 17, 2020, 11:41:39 PM »



I have seen this side plate on this site but I can’t remember what it is from. Likely 18th century.
Can anyone help me identify it?

Somewhat similar to one shown on page 39 of Tom Grinslade's book.

The New England Fowler on pg39 is dated by Grinslade to 1757. The fowler has an owners name Marven Beckwith engraved on two brass plates inlet into the buttstock. Grinslade states that the sideplate may have been copied from a French sideplate.

You should get the book, it is easily worth the money.
