Blued steel barrels with a low beaded blade front and a fixed rear sights on the matted solid rib, marked "CONSTRUCTED BY MESSrs GYE & MONCRIEFF" on the left and "St. JAMES'S STREET, LONDON." on the right, period London black powder proofs on the flats, and chambers with a single extractor. The receiver and backaction locks have been polished bright and are marked the same as the barrels on either lockplate. The rifle features double triggers, non-rebounding hammers, and hammer safeties. Nicely figured, multi-point checkered splinter forend and pistol grip stock with horn grip cap, blank silver inscription oval, raised cheekpiece, and blued heel and toe plates around the checkered butt. Included is an oak & leather takedown case featuring an "RWL" marked initial plaque on the exterior of the lid and containing a nickel oiler and a set of cleaning tools. Length of pull 14 7/8 inches. Weight 10 lbs. 1 oz.

Fine, retaining 95% reapplied blue finish, polished finish on the action, and light handling evidence. There is a crack at the rear of the forend, otherwise the wood is very fine with a few minor marks and sharp recut checkering. The case is very good with mild scuffs and a repaired strap. Mechanically excellent.
