Description:

This rifle is fitted with a percussion lock with scroll engraving and a bird scene, and the barrel is equipped with standard fixed rifle sights. The full length maple stock has some attractive flame figure primarily on the butt and numerous engraved German silver inlaid insets, including two shaped like birds and one shaped like a fish. The patch box also has detailed engraving patterns.

Rating Definition:

Fair. The barrel is primarily an even gray for most of its length and has moderate flash pitting at the breech. The lock plate has a blend of gray and brown patina along with some mild pitting, and the hammer has been crudely repaired at the head and exhibits file marks. The brass fittings display a light aged patina overall and have a few darker spots. The lower section of the patch box trim cracked and is pinned back in place. The German silver fittings are mostly bright with some slight aging. The stock is good and has some material absent around the lock, various scratched and dings, and a crack at the lock screw. It mechanically needs adjustment but is complete. The engraving patterns are crisp throughout.
