Manufactured around 1860-1880 in Liege. Marked "J. Boussart a Liege" in Gothic script on top of the barrels, Boussart's "JB" hallmark on the bottom of the barrels along with the intertwined "EL" proofmark, small letters, and "9.4" The other components have tight scroll work engraving. They come in a hardwood case with French style fitted interior lined in purple velvet with bullet mold, two round wooden boxes, screwdriver, nipple wrench, mallet, powder measure, and bore rods. The case lid has an "MA" or "AM" monogram.

Very fine. The barrel retains 98% plus of the period refinished blue finish and has some minor oxidation and edge wear. The remaining components retain 85% plus original casehardened finish and have some slight scratches and light patina. The stock has crisp checkering and a few light handling and storage marks. The accessories are fine with mild storage wear. The case is fine and has moderate storage wear including cracks in the lid and bright purple in the protected areas of the sun faded lining which is otherwise aged to brown or camel tones. Overall a very fine set.
