The smooth bore octagon barrel is fitted with a post front sight with side protectors and the rear sight has been removed with the dovetail slot unplugged. The 4 mm caliber barrel is 7 inches long. Upper tang is fitted with a casehardened peep sight with large disk and breechblock is stamped with two crown/letter proofs. Detachable trigger/breech block assembly, with double set triggers. Smooth forearm and checkered straight grip stock with thumb rest, Tyrolean style cheekpiece and hooked iron buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrel retains approximately 30% faded original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina, along with limited minor pitting and spotting. The frame, breechblock and lever retain approximately 30% original case colors with a smooth brown patina. The buttplate retains heavy amounts of silvered out case colors. The forearm has an absent chunk and the ill fitting stock has a repaired chip at the frame. Otherwise the wood is good with some minor dings and scratches (mostly on the forearm), along with a couple absent chips. There are some minor dings in the overall very good checkering.
