The lock is marked "LAMOUROUX ARQ A BEZLERS". Finger spur trigger guard, blue barrel and casehardened remaining parts, and mounted with a one-piece English walnut stock secured by a single wedge, with checkered grip area and a steel butt cap. The pair are complete in a wooden case with brass hardware and green French fitted felt lining. In the case is a small powder flask, a brass ram rod, wooden cleaning rod, brass and walnut handled powder charge, iron single cavity conical bullet mold, walnut oiler and cap container, and walnut handled screwdriver and nipple wrench.
