Description:

German silver barrel, marked with a pair of crossed scepter proofs on the upper left flat. Fitted with a smooth hammer spur, folding trigger and a 3 1/2 inch spear point knife blade, marked "UNWIN &/RODGERS/SHEFFIELD" on the left ricasso. Checkered horn grips, with a patch box at the rear, a silver single-cavity mold set into the left panel and a pair of tweezers on the right.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The German silver components show a number of light dents overall, with the front sight being flattened and a pair of grooves cut into the top of the breech. A mixed lightly pitted gray and brown patina is present on the steel components, with some pitting around the percussion nipple and on the blade. Grips are very fine, with some light handling marks and scratches. Mechanically very good.
