Manufactured in Belgium for a Paris retailed. The four barrel cluster has individual removable Damascus patterned barrels which are numbered to correspond to the numbered breechblock. The breechblock is marked with a "crown/C" proof and the Liege oval proof. The frame, backstrap and buttcap are engraved with floral scroll designs and the backstrap is marked "GULUT / BREVETE / DU R O?" in an oval. Ring trigger, under hammer and fitted with two piece floral carved ebony grips. Complete in a wooden case with silver shield and wire border on the lid, royal blue fitted velvet lining with gold "FERRIER / RUE Du FG ST MONORE / A PARIS" on the inside of the lid, bullet mold and wooden cap container.

Rating Definition:

Good. All metal surfaces have a silver gray patina with minor pitting overall, mostly on the right side of the frame and on the Damascus pattern on the barrels. The grips are very good with a few minor dings and scratches, and crisp carving. The engraving and markings are clear (unless noted above). The action is excellent. The case is fine with a few minor dings and scratches on the exterior and some minor contact wear on the lining.
