This rifle has no visible signature, but the patch box design and overall architecture suggests in originates from Virginia. It features blade and notch sights, a silver wedge escutcheons (rears are double acorns), "M.M. MASLIN/WARRANTED" lock, double set triggers, engraved side plate with "key hole" piercings, silver thumb plate, silver hunter's star on the cheek rest, long engraved toe plate, and engraved patch box with pierced side plates and floral finial. Key hole elements are know on some Sheetz family rifles.

Very good overall as reconverted. The barrel and lock have a dark blend of original and artificial brown patina, some minor pitting, edge wear, and some tool marks. There is an added screw at the tail of the lock and some others are replacements. The brass and silver have attractive aged patina. The stock has the front 8 1/2 inches spliced, some repaired chips and cracks, darkened nearly ebonized areas and flame like patterns, and some dings and scratches.
