The lock is signed "Alexr Wilson,/Sherrard. Strt London," and the barrel is signed similarly but in all caps and in one line. Alexander Wilson was a former workman of John Manton active 1805-1825. He was recorded at 3 Sherrard Street on Golden Square in 1811-1825. The London hallmarks on the trigger guard date the silver furniture to 1822 and include an "M-B" maker's mark. The Damascus barrel has dovetailed silver blade front sight, notch rear sight with three folding leaves, dual platinum bands and a platinum plug on the breech plug, and London proofs and "5011" on the bottom. The latter appears to be stamped over another marking. The rifle also features double set triggers, a base for a peep sigh, primarily scroll and floral engraving, a cat mask on the trigger guard bow, a pair of deer on the heel, a horn grip stop, plain box with a wooden box for patch primers inside, and a straight grip half-stock with checkered wrist and shallow cheekpiece. The oak takedown case has a Wilson trade label and contains a powder flask, ball mold, punch, the rear peep sight, balls, and patches.
