Manufactured without sights, with a pair of crossed scepter proofs on the upper left side of the barrel, light border designs on the flats, and a 9 1/4 inch triangular spike bayonet with spring loaded hinged base and a sliding tang lock. Light decorative border engraving is present on the fenced flash pan, hammer and lock, the latter marked "S.HARPER" and equipped with a roller frizzen spring. Smooth straight wrist stock, with a horn tipped ramrod/wad extractor, engraved brass furniture, including a pierced-through reverse plate, an inscription panel on the wrist, and an array of drums and arms on the heel of the flat buttplate. The wrist is also decorated with silver wire inlay.

Good, with a mixed brown and gray patina overall, darker on the lock plate, with scattered pitting and handling marks. Stock is also good, with some mended cracks, a thin section of replaced wood on the forearm, and scattered dents and dings. Mechanically very good including the snap bayonet.
