Hello, this item is an English long sporting gun signed or attributed to Perry, likely dating to the late 18th or early 19th century. Although described as a flintlock sporting rifle, the visible lock appears to show a percussion-style hammer/nipple arrangement rather than a complete flintlock pan and frizzen, so it may be a later percussion gun or a flintlock originally converted to percussion. The long barrel, walnut full stock, ramrod channel, iron trigger guard, and overall sporting configuration are consistent with an English civilian fowling piece or sporting rifle rather than a military musket.

The condition appears fair to poor, with heavy surface wear, oxidation, darkened metal, losses to finish, dents and abrasions to the stock, and unclear mechanical functionality. The Perry name can add interest if confirmed on the lock or barrel, but the photographs do not show a clear maker’s signature, proof marks, bore condition, or whether the lock is complete and working. Because of the worn condition and possible alteration from flintlock to percussion, the value sits below a clean, signed, original English flintlock sporting gun.

Fair Market Value: $500 to $1,000 USD
