The box lock receiver features flourishes of leafy scroll engraving on a textured background, light engraving on the hammer, and a stylized dogs head carved on the hammer head. The trigger guard is engraved and features a fancy scroll bend forming a grip extension. With a checkered forearm with ebony forend cap and straight grip stock with fancy engraved plates along the top of the comb and belly of the stock, and a solid Decelerator recoil pad. The gun includes a walnut case with an English fit green felt interior, Stolzer & Sons label on the inside of the lid, cap tin, cleaning rod, oil bottle, and cleaning tools. The gun also includes a large grouping of cast lead 2 bore ball ammunition, and hardwood cased cleaning set with assorted barrel jags, brush, powder measure, nipple wrench, and 2 bore ball mold. Weight is 22 pounds.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. 95% original blue finish remains with some visible fading to a brown patina on the barrel, small nicks, some light spotting along the rib edge, and handling marks overall. The wood is also excellent with rich color, crisp checkering, and just a few small dings. Mechanically excellent. Case is very good with some visible dings on the exterior.
