Manufacturer: G.W. Right Warranted Type: Black Powder Rifle Model: N/A Caliber: 12GA Barrel Length: 27" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: No Log: N/A Serial Number (S/N): N/A Reference Number (Ref #): N/A Notes: This firearm is a G.W. Right “Warranted” muzzle-loading black powder long gun chambered in 12 gauge. The “Warranted” marking is a common 19th-century trade designation, typically applied to sporting arms produced for the commercial market rather than indicating a single documented manufacturer. Firearms bearing this style of marking were commonly produced in Great Britain or continental Europe for export. Production period: Based on construction, markings, and percussion ignition, this example dates approximately from 1850 to 1880, during the mid- to late-19th century black powder sporting era. No serial number or maker’s proof marks are present that would allow more precise attribution or dating. The firearm is configured as a muzzle-loading black powder gun with a 27-inch barrel. It is loaded from the muzzle with black powder, wad, and either shot or round ball. The barrel and lock assembly are steel, and the firearm utilizes an external hammer and exposed percussion ignition system. Operation is via a single trigger. The stock is hardwood with a straight grip profile and is fitted with a brass buttplate. Sighting equipment consists of simple iron sights, including a front bead. No provision for optics is present, consistent with period manufacture. Condition is fair. The metal surfaces exhibit heavy patina and finish wear consistent with age and long-term use. The wood stock shows significant handling marks, discoloration, and surface wear. No major structural cracks or breaks are observed. This firearm is an antique black powder arm and is suitable for collectors of 19th-century sporting firearms or traditional black powder enthusiasts familiar with period-safe handling and loading practices.
