Our Duncan triggerguard was modeled after an original show on a flint fowler marked Ketland & Co. circa 1720-1750. See page 113 of Colonial Frontier Guns by T.M. Hamilton, available separately.
This early flint fowling gun triggerguard has the "potted plant" or "flaming torch" finial. The small bow indicates that this guard was made for a single trigger. This is the English version of the French finial design known as the Type 'C' trade gun triggerguard.
Overall length is 10-7/8", inside trigger bow is 1-13/16" long, and 1" deep.
