I chose an engraved French Fusil Fin trade gun ( pronounced " Fuzee Fan "
meaning, Fine Gun ) butt plate that would have been seen on French trade guns
in the time frame of 1730 to 1760. Many original New England Fowlers were
built reusing parts from older guns such as butt plates and trigger guards.
