Ignatius Nester Marked Early Flintlock Longarm with Stock Inlays

Fitted with a blade sight, with light scroll engraving along the length of the barrel, with a pair of hunting scenes on the lock, which is marked "IGNATIVS" behind the hammer and "NESTER" under the frizzen spring, and extensive chiseled metal work on the frizzen and hammer. Smooth full length stock, with a decorated bone forearm tip and a smooth steel buttplate with storage compartment. Extensive bone and horn inlays are present on the stock, with fine scroll patterns overall, panels of floral carved bone and pearl, four dog-shaped bone panels on each side of the forearm and another two on the wrist, and a large bone panel on each side of the butt, showing a lion on the right and a mounted hunter with dog on the left.

ConditionVery good, with a mixed brown and gray patina overall, showing areas of mild pitting and scattered handling marks. Some deeper etching is visible on the lock, especially along the edges. The stock is good, with cracks ahead of the lock and at the butt, a few sections of replaced or absent material, and scattered handling marks. Mechanically very good.
