Class: Antique
Description:

The cannon shaped barrel has gold inlaid floral and martial patterns, oval "LC" maker's mark at the breech (LeClerc), "A/C" mark on the left, and a notch rear sight on the tang. The lock appears to be signed "LUSTRINGEV" over "A TOULON" and has floral accents. The furniture is silver and features a spread wing eagle with a wreath on the trigger guard bow, a man with a turban on the pommel cap, classical hunting and martial motifs, floral patterns, and French 800/1000 silver hallmarks from c. 1798-1809 along with a "JC" silversmith's mark. The stock also features extensive silver wire inlays.

Rating Definition:

Fine with much of the original gold remaining, light original blue finish mixed with smooth brown patina and some mild pitting on the balance of the barrel, gray and brown patina on the lock, attractive aged patina on the silver furniture, some slivers of silver wire absent, and general minor wear on the wood. Mechanically needs work (not holding half or full-cock).
