Class: Antique
Description:

Measuring 51 inches overall, the barrel is outfitted with a flared cannon muzzle, a pair of sighting blocks, and a number of gold, silver and copper engraved inlays, featuring birds in flight, fu-dogs and floral designs. The brass hardware is engraved in a botanical pattern, with bamboo-style decoration on the serpentine and trigger guard and floral designs overall. Fitted with a smooth stock and an iron ramrod.

Rating Definition:

Fair. A dark brown patina is showing on the barrel, with scattered spotting and handling marks. The fittings are fair, with some cracks visible in the flash pan, a few of the smaller inlays absent, and a nine-digit number (possibly a SSN) scratches into the underside of the barrel band. Stock is good, with some cracks visible on the left side and scattered scuffs and pressure dents. Mechanically needs work.
