[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 407451, member: 15636"] Great question! In Kevin Gladysz's book [u]The French Trade Gun in North America 1662-1759[/u] there is shown a left-handed French 'Fusil Fin' (or fine musket, i.e., fancier metal work, piercings, and carving or ornamentation) circa 1740. Think of these as a much more decorated and fancier [i]Fusil de Chasse[/i] or fancy hunting gun. Such F-Fins were typically given out to the various Indian Chiefs as a gift or made for someone of means. Another LH-d one was also dug up in Georgia at the Angola dig site. So they existed, but were clearly the exception. Those are the only 2 I know documented. [/QUOTE]
