Very Fine and Elaborate Gold Inlaid, Engraved, and Silver Overlaid Miquelet Rifle with Coral Accents

The watered steel barrel has gold inlaid bands and patterns on the muzzle and breech sections, a blade front sight, and a large peep sight with four holes at the breech. The wedges are absent, but the barrel is secured by five engraved silver barrel bands. The engraved miquelet lock has coral accents and an unknown marking near the bottom. The trigger had a now absent ball. The stock has attractive flame figure along most of its length, bird's eye figure on the butt, and extensive engraved scroll pattern silver accents.

ConditionVery fine overall with attractively aged patina on the silver, most of the gold remaining, dark brown along the barrel, gray patina on the lock plate, mild oxidation, some minor insect damage on the wood, split at the forend tip, general light scratches and dings throughout, and mild overall wear. Mechanically fine.
