z Sold ~ Curly Gostomski Northwest Trade Gun .72 cal.

Curly Gostomski began North Star Trading Co. in 1980. He was tool-and-die maker and after collecting and studying the Northwest trade gun he created an accurate reproduction of the gun. He made them as kits and as finished guns. This is one of the finished guns. It is a smooth bore Indian Trade Gun. It is small and easy to handle. Barrel length is 30 inches. The gun could fire shot or a patched ball. The size of the gun, its versatility and its light weight made it a favorite Indian firearm for hunting and war. The lock functions perfectly and sparks very well.This gun is as new and of coarse a classic of the early reenactor guns.
