The barrels are inlaid with what appears to be "L.B. Walker" followed by "London," both in ornate Gothic script. The lower left has Birmingham proofmarks. There is attractive scroll engraving throughout. The left sides have belt clips. They also feature post and notch sights and swivel mounted ramrods.

Rating Definition:

Very good overall. Strong Damascus patterns and original finish remain in the protected areas on the bottom of the barrel, and the balance has mottled brown patina and light oxidation. The lock has subtle original case colors and gray and brown patina. The German silver stock is fairly bright with minor aging and has some small nicks and scratches.
