Gauge: 62
Barrel: 12 inch part octagon

Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 130
Class: Antique
Description:

Produced without sights, the barrel is adorned with koftgari-style gold overlays, with a plain band at the muzzle followed by a small leafy vine arrangement on top, a crosshatched band dividing the round and octagonal barrel sections, floral arrangements at the front, center and rear of the top flats, a striped border at the breech and a plated and engraved crescent moon and star pattern on the tang. Additional floral and leaf patterns are present on the lock, flash pan fence, frizzen and hammer, with a vine pattern around the edges. The stock is extensively silver wire inlaid, chiefly in leafy vine and floral patterns, with a silver plate forearm tip, cosmetic "ramrod", dual wedge escutcheons, deeply cut trigger guard, reverse plate and wrist accent plate, and a cupped buttcap with arrays of arms, floral patterns, and a grotesque face on the tip.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The steel components show a mixed brown and gray patina, with over 95% of the original gold. The stock shows a few small handling marks and short sections of absent wire, with mild dents and hand wear. The jaw screw is bent, otherwise mechanically very good.
