Germanic Smoothbore Wheel Lock Hunting Gun with Engraved Inlays and Spanner

The lock has some light engraving on the exterior and interior. The swamped barrel has blade and notch sights, two incised bands at the breech, and no visible markings. It may have originally been rifled and since bored out. The stock has a horn forend cap, deep molding along the forend, scallop and dot patterns at the ramrod entry point and edge of the butt, a grooved patch box lid, incised borders on the left flat that connect to scrollwork ahead of the cheek rest, floral engraved staghorn washers for the lock screws, stag engraved staghorn oval on the cheek rest, dog and game scene engraved staghorn panels on the cheekpiece edge and heel, and an iron buttplate with ball finial. A collection marking is on the trigger guard. Includes a spanner/multi-tool.

ConditionGood as rebuilt/assembled in the Victorian era with mostly bright surfaces, some minor pitting, rougher concealed portions of the barrel, aged patina on the brass, absent lower buttplate pin, and mild overall wear. The stock is very good and has minor dings and chips at the edges, crisp designs, and minor age and storage related wear. The pan and cock mechanisms work, and the double set triggers function; however, the wheel has not been tested.
