The barrel pivots down by pushing the swivel device to the right the barrel features a simple "V" notch rear sight and a dovetailed post front sight. The barrel is marked "A. SPELLERBERG" on the top right flat and "Patent July 30, 1861" the perch belly stock features a brass toe plate and crescent buttplate. The barrel tang extends to the comb, and the trigger guard extends two inches past this. Both of these are exceptionally wide at about 3/4 inch. The consignor notes that this is a very rare piece, possibly the only Spellerberg known. It was written up in "Gun Report Magazine" December 1959 and was purchased in Fondue Loc, Wisconsin circa 1958.

Very good plus. The barrel is a smooth silver grey with scattered brown oxidation mixed in. The wood is very fine and retains most of it's original finish. The action is fine.
