Features traditional blade and notch sights, "J. RICKETS/MANSFIELD. O" on top of the barrel, light scroll patterns and "G. GOULCHER" on the lock, double set triggers, and a nicely figured walnut stock with pewter forend cap. It appears to have also once had a tang peep sight. John Rickets (1817-1895) of Mansfield, Ohio, was active c. 1840-1891.

Very good with mostly smooth brown patina finish overall, some spots of mild pitting, distinct markings, aged patina on the brass, flash wear and some chipping at the bolster, mild edge wear on the stock, attractive highly figure grain concentrated on the stock, and small scratches and dings. Mechanically fine.
