Description:

This gun is likely from the early 19th century. The gun has a long, three-stage barrel with a rounded brass blade front sight and an unknown escutcheon shaped stamp near the breech end. The lock is unmarked and has a stepped tail and minimal light engraving. The brass furniture includes four ramrod pipes, a trigger guard with acorn finial, coordinating acorn finial front lock screw plate, lozenge shaped rear lock screw plate, and buttplate with a pointed teat at the tip of the finial.

Rating Definition:

Very good "out of the attic" type condition overall with dark brown patina overall, including on the brass, along with a few spots of light aged patina from handling. The lock and barrel have some mild oxidation and pitting. The stock is good and has a dark aged appearance that matches the metal, moderate scratches and storage marks, cracks along the toe section, and rather mild overall wear. Mechanically fine.
