Description:

"S" at the beginning and "er" at the end of the signature on the smoothbore barrel appear to be legible. It has standard rifle sights. The lock is marked "Martin" on the outer face and stamped "KW&A" (Ketland, Walker and Adams) on the inside and was manufactured in 1810s. It also has some engraving patterns at the tail. The engraved patch box has an attractive bird (possibly Federal Style American Eagle) finial and two pierced side panels. The door release button is on the buttplate tang, and the top plate has an oval piercing. The stock is plain aside from a shallow cheekpiece and small silver thumb plate, and the barrel is secured by wedges.

Rating Definition:

Good as reconverted to flintlock configuration. The barrel and lock are dark brown and have patches of mild pitting and oxidation. The brass and silver have an aged patina throughout and crisp engraving. The stock is good as repaired and has a small replaced sliver on the right side of the forend above the foremost ramrod ferule, some material absent at the breech, a minor crack at the rear lock bolt, and various scrapes and pressure marks. The lock functions very well.
