French Flint Double Fowler. PRICE REDUCED THIS ONE TIME

Up for your consideration is a French fowler. Both locks are crisp as new. It is about .58/24 gauge. Bores are very good. It prettier sister sold on Guns International for $8000. I am asking
$5000
$4500. The cock on the right lock is identical to the left, but has a bit of engraving, possibly by the original shop. The baleen ramrod was broken but I have the remnant. I have replaced it with a fiberglass rod that I do not endorse using. It is pretty special. The barrels are stamped Jean Lallier but no other makers marks or signatures can I find.
Two chips behind the hooked breech have been professionally replaced. The barrels do not pin or key to the stock. The underlug is oversized and a sleeve is inserted into the underlug and the ramrod passes through the sleeve. I fabricated the sleeve. It is not original. The gun on Guns International was missing the sleeve also.

That lock shows a perfect example of a properly fit direct contact mainspring and its contours show all that needs to be done.
