Manufactured without sights, with "LONDON" on the top barrel flat, three proof stamps on the upper left flat, and a percussion bolster installed on the right flat.

Smooth full length stock with a brass tipped ramrod, engraved trigger guard and screws, unmarked silver inscription panel behind the tang and a smooth bag shaped grip.

Rating Definition:

Good as period converted to percussion. The steel shows a mixed gray patina overall, and some scattered spotting and handling marks. Minor pitting is present around the muzzle and nipple. The stock is fair, with light cracking at the tip and scattered dings. The modern case is good, with light handling marks overall. Mechanically very good.
