This is a small, possibly boys wheelock carbine. Dovetailed brass blade front and notch rear sights on the barrel with "ZACHRIAS MACHL 1663" on the top flat and an engraved brand and small proof at the breech. No markings are visible on the lock, with cut-through decoration on the wheel cover and light engraving on the serpentine arm and spring. Smooth straight grip stock with horn tip, ramrod pipes, and accent pieces, a contoured cheekpiece and bone inserts, including leaf patterns on the right side of the buttstock, a naked spearman on horseback on the patch box, and a bust of a gentleman on the cheekpiece, contoured to match, with diamond shaped floral engraved mother of pearl flanking panels and an bone buttplate. Stag accented sliding patch box with an incised/scrimshawed bone insert of a spear wielding warrior on a horse.

Fine, with some mild spotting on the bright barrel, areas of shallow pitting and mild handling marks. Stock is very good, with a screw absent from the left side, scattered scratches, and fine bone, pearl, and stag inlays.
