Description:

Fitted with a fixed inverted "V" front sight and a notch rear sight, the barrel has a permanently attached tulip-shaped false muzzle with silver ribs on the edges of the flats, and is decorated with a gold, silver and bronze scene of a dragon leaping out of the ocean and flying through the clouds. The lock shows a light border decoration, and the stock is adorned with several engraved silver and brass panels, with a series of cherry blossoms on the underside of the forearm running past the trigger guard, silver floral pin escutcheons, a kabuto helmet behind the breech, a small silver rabbit on the left side opposite the lock, several rabbits on the comb and a large flower with ebony and copper accents on each side of the butt. A short length of match cord is included.

Rating Definition:

Fine overall. A few segments of inlay are absent, with an antique patina on the silver and a smooth aged brown on the iron. The stock is good, showing attractive grain and mild handling marks. Mechanically very good.
