Description:

Highwaymen beware! This mid-19th century combination gun features a .54 caliber rifled barrel over a 14 gauge smoothbore barrel with "duck bill" muzzle that flares out to around 3 5/8 inches. The upper barrel has a dovetailed front sight base and "Comendador Dn Carlos Du Villards" in silver inlay on the rib. The locks and furniture have scroll engraving and hunting scenes. The stock is nicely figured.

Rating Definition:

Good with artificial dark brown patina overall, some mild pitting, and general moderate wear. The refinished stock is also good and has some scrapes and dings, a crack at the breech on the right, a few fainter checks in the grain, and minor overall wear. Mechanically fine.
