Manufactured for the Eastern Trade without sights, the barrel has a large flared muzzle and shows nearly 85% coverage of an extensive raised scroll design with silver accents. Similar overlays are present on the hammer and lockplate as well as on the furniture. Full length stock with a cosmetic ramrod, pressed checkering on the wrist flanked by a raised carved leafy pattern to the front and an animal head to the rear. Scroll carving on the underside and behind the forearm, and a flat buttplate. The stock is accented with silver wire inlays, chiefly scroll patterns with dot accents concentrated on the small cheekpieces and opposite the lock.

Good with a mixed brown and gray patina overall showing scattered handling marks and spotting overall. 50% of the silver overlay remains showing a mixed gray patina on the exposed areas. The stock is good with some light chips and dents along with some lost wire. Mechanically good.
