This is a very early French Marine Officer’s Fusil from the Pierre Cayla Collection. A truly slender and graceful weapon. Nicely carved, extremely high quality in the 1700’s. We have reproduced this carving on our stock patterns. The barrel is a 44 1/2" octagon to round, available in .62 caliber. We have tried to make this one of the most perfect reproductions available. Raised moulding around the lock, tang and trigger guard. The butt plate and trigger guard are also engraved. This gun was originally mounted in iron, but we have it available in brass or steel. Our series (873) Left Hand lock could be used to make this a nice left hand fusil. The lock plate measures 5 13/16" x 15/16". The throw of the cock is 1 3/4". The Late Kit Ravenshear believed that the Fusil De Chasse guns were basically just cheaper versions of this weapon, made for Militia and Indian trade.

We stock many items, but each item is custom cast or made by us to the exact specifications of the originals parts, we have copied. Due to the investment casting process which we use there are sometimes delays due to this process which in turn requires patience from our customers, the average delivery time on our parts is between 60 and 90 days, if the parts you order are not in stock. We assure you that the quality of our parts is well worth any wait, as many of the items we make have never been offered by anyone before. If you are serious about the authenticity of your weapon then the time will be a small price to pay. Many of the pictures shown on this web site are of original pieces. We do not sell any original pieces on this web site only reproduction's of the original parts we have copied. If the item description does not say assembled then you are buying the castings of that particular item.
