The etched Damascus barrels have fine "poly-groove" rifling, silver blade front sights, gold banded patent breeches with shell pattern engraved bolsters, and notch and folding leaf rear sights on the standing breeches which are numbered "1" and "2" respectively and have floral engraving. The locks feature finely engraved/chiseled bestial hammers, floral wreaths on the fences, and floral and border engraving. The furniture also features coordinating engraving, including a chiseled lion motif on the trigger guard spurs and masks engraved on the small compartments in the pommels. The full-length stocks have finely checkered wrists, blank silver escutcheons and raised relief floral and shell carving. The pair comes in a fitted case with a suite of loading and maintenance equipment.

Rating Definition:

Very good with gray patina and distinct textured Damascus patterns along the barrel, mix of original case colors and gray and brown patina on the lock and furniture, bright gold bands, crisp engraving, and cracked and repaired trigger guard tang. The stock is fine and has some wear in the otherwise crisp checkering, distinct carving, a pinned crack on the left at the breech, and some scratches and dings. Mechanically fine. The case is also good and has moderate age and storage related wear including some chips, broken hinge, and fading. The accessories are generally very fine and retain strong original case colors and have minor wear.
