Description:

The lock plates are game scene and scroll engraved with the scrollwork extending to the hammers. The hammers also have a mythical creature head on the striker. The Damascus barrels feature a silver inlaid band at the breech with "LORENZ BUSSEL SUHL" inlaid in gold on the solid rib. The ramrod pipes, stylized trigger guard, flat buttplate and barrel wedge escutcheons are German silver. The trigger guard and buttplate also have the scroll engraving with an engraved game bird also on the trigger guard. The floral scroll and checkered carved half stock features a cheekpiece. With a German silver tipped horn ramrod.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrels retain most of the Damascus pattern with an attractive smooth brown patina. The German silver is fine. The remaining metal surfaces have a mixed gray patina. The wood is good with a repaired forearm, some worn checkering and some minor pressure dents and scratches. Mechanically fine, but lock plates are missing the hammer safeties.
