A change of pace and a big step back in time. Here is my W. H. Wilson double flint circa 1820. Very late London flint with just about all the improvements Joe Manton adopted. I believe the gun was likely made by Alexander Wilson, late of Manton. The twin locks are totally hand made, perhaps the hammers began life as rough blacksmith forgings. They are double throated for strength in the neck as is most common with late flint guns.
