The rifled barrel gauges at .58 caliber, has a solid wood rib on the underside, and marked "J. Allen" in script on the top flat. Brass furniture including the engraved patch box on the right side of the buttstock.

The forend cap is horn, with blade front and groove rear sights. With a horn tipped wooden ramrod.

Rating Definition:

Very good as restored. The rifle has a smooth dark brown patina with some minor flash pitting. The lock plate is a modern replacement that is made to look of the period. The brass has a polished appearance. The stock has been repaired ahead of the lock plate, otherwise very good with some minor dings and scratches. The wooden rib has a missing sliver and is cracked near the muzzle. The forearm checkering is mostly smooth, while the wrist checkering remains crisp.
