This is an extremely rare Queen Anne styled flintlock carbine. Like a Queen Anne pistol, it has a turn-off barrel that resembles a cannon. The barrel is fitted with a hinged retaining link at the breech (1). It is rifled with eight grooves and has an unscrewing lug. "H. DELANEY LONDINI" is engraved on the lower lock side of breech. Londini is the Latin place name for London. The walnut stock has relief carvings around the barrel tang, steel escutcheon and steel butt plate. Three proof marks are stamped on lower side of breech opposite the lock. Two are oval shaped, a Crown over a "GP" (the gun-makers proof) and a Crown over a "V" (the "view mark"). The third is a Fleur de lis.
