Manufactured c. late 1700s to early 1800s. Unmarked lock and barrel, with an oval silver escutcheon inscribed "JOSEPH/EMERSON".

Good as refinished, with brown patina and a few areas of light pitting. Stock is also good as sanded and re-oiled, with a repaired split in the wrist, spliced replacement forend, and some scratches and cracks. Lock does not remain in the cocked position, mechanically needs work.
