Description:

Introduced circa 1850. Although unmarked, this whaling gun is the unmistakable design of C.G. Brand of Norwich Connecticut. This example has a solid walnut straight grip stock with a smooth iron buttplate which has been observed on early production Brand whaling guns. The part octagon barrel has a bore that measures 7/8 inches and is equipped with fixed sights. The underside of the barrel has a modern replacement brass tipped wooden loading rod.

Rating Definition:

Fair. The whaling gun has an even, lightly pitted, smooth dark patina overall. The repaired reinforced varnished stock is fair with some minor handling marks (screws added for reinforcement). Mechanically fine.
