Description:

Assembled in the Victorian era using components of a Germanic 17th century rifle. The lock is engraved with a dog pursuing a stag and scrolls. The barrel has four-groove rifling, a dovetailed bead style front sight, two-leaf rear sight, and a crude "Z" marking on top at the breech. The side plate and finger groove trigger guard are brass, and it has a set of double set triggers. The stock has a contrasting forend tip, some scroll carving, a large cheek piece, contrasting patch box lid panels, and a horn buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Good as assembled with mottled gray and brown patina on the lock and barrel, legible engraving, aged patina on the brass, and spliced and repaired stock with some chips and moderate overall wear. The lock is untested, but the set triggers are fine.
