Manufactured c. 1820. The lock is signed "JACKSON" and has light engraving and a sliding half-cock safety. The barrel flares to around 1 1/4 inches at the muzzle (gauge estimated above) and is marked "London" on top with decorative flourishes and has Birmingham proofs on the left and a folding "snap" bayonet secured by a sliding catch on the upper tang. The brass furniture has floral engraving. The stock has a checkered wrist.

Fine with attractive mellow aged patina on the brass barrel and furniture, mostly distinct engraving, blend of gray and brown patina on the lock and bayonet, and minor overall wear. The reoiled stock is very good and has crisp checkering, mild dings, and some light scratches. Both the lock and bayonet mechanisms are mechanically fine. Provenance: The Malcolm King Collection.
