Elaborately Engraved Wheel-Lock Rifle

The barrel has brass blade front and two leaf rear sights. The lock has engraved floral patterns mixed with a fox hunting scene as well as a dolphin/fish pan cover. It is equipped with double set triggers. The brass furniture has a variety of designs including a hunter and dogs pursuing game on the patch box lid and some classical figures. The stock has some carved scroll and floral designs.

ConditionGood as assembled, possibly in the Victorian Era, with an antique lock. The barrel and most of the brass are polished bright and have some light patina and areas of polished pitting. One of the trigger plate screws is absent. The lock has silver-gray patina, mild oxidation/pitting, and distinct patterns and has not been tested. The replacement stock has crisp carving and general minor dings and scratches.
