Description:

Blade sight on the Liege proofed barrel, which is finished in a twist pattern with casehardened tang and a Liege proof at the breech end. The lock is marked "TOWER" vertically behind the hammer, with the "crown/ GR" royal cipher ahead, along with a small "helm/ HR" proof. A curved bar is fitted to the left side, with a pair of rings. Smooth straight grip stock with brass tip and pipe, iron button head ramrod, and a smooth brass butt.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The twist pattern is strong on the barrel, with a few bright spots and dings, and bright case colors are visible in the protected areas of the lock. The stock is revarnished, with a thin crack on top of the wrist, a few small chips and mild pressure dents. Mechanically very good.
