Description:

This rifle is unmarked aside from an unclear lockmaker's mark and has dovetailed blade and notch sights, silver and German silver double acorn wedge escutcheons, light sportsman themed engraving on the tail of the lock, a pair of double set triggers, scroll designs at the ramrod entry pipe and comb, a silver thumb plate, patch box with double pierced finial with floral design and single pierced side plates, an engraved silver inlay on the cheekpiece, and rococo style carving on the left rear of the stock.

Rating Definition:

Good as period converted to percussion. The iron has dark brown patina, some brighter spots of wear, heavy flash pitting at the breech, and lighter pitting on the bolster and lock. The brass and inlays have aged patina. The side plate is cracked. The stock has cracks at the rear of the forend cap, a break at the middle wedge, material absent and some minor cracking around the lock, partially smoothed carving, and some attractive figure. The lock and set triggers are functional.
