Does anyone have a brass triggerguard with a pineapple finial similar to this one?
Looking to pay around $40
Thanks

I have a pineapple guard, but is the scroll type one might use on a rifle.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll keep looking. What other guards would you suggest for 1810 period?

I had to convert an acorn one once. There's at least two different sizes.

That type of pineapple finial , with the asymmetric leaf ,on British guns would date to c.1795 and only for a short period... just saying.

The Mantons were still using guards with slightly asymmetric leaves and the center curved to the right into the early 1800s. I've seen them on their pistols in the early 19th century and some of the sporting guns even into the percussion era although later pieces tend to have three straighter and less floral looking leaves.
