✅ SOLVED Id needed on trigger guard

Found this morning.

Without marks or stampings, a generic flintlock trigger guard. I think the two end extensions where the mounting holes for screws would be are broken off. Also, it looks as if it was somehow straightened out a bit.

Like Kray said it is hard to tell. Heres a few pictures hope they help.

I'd guess late 1700's - early 1800's hunting gun. Cool find!

Here is a pic of only distinguishing mark.

Because of how fancy it is with swoops and curls, I would say a flintlock or early caplock rifle, with a date range of what NOLA Ken said.


This is a picture of a fowler (muzzleloading shotgun) as you can see, the trigger guard is much simpler, which makes me think yours is a rifle
