Manufactured by August Franz Klawitter (1824-1893) was the court gun maker for the king of Hannover. The Damascus barrels have a solid, concave, rib fitted with a single brass bead sight, a small fox scene engraved at on top of the rib, gold inlaid bands, and gold relief stamps marked "KLAWITTER/HERZBERG" at the breech. There are wildlife scenes engraved throughout featuring boar, stag, rabbit, and hunting dog, along with flourishes of scroll. The locks have been converted from flintlock and now feature "frizzen" type nipple covers/safeties. The carved wooden trigger guard is reinforced with an engraved steel band and there is a crest engraved escutcheon at the top of the wrist. Mounted with a finely figured stock with tear drop flats, checkered wrist, cheek piece, and engraved heel plate.

Very good as period converted from flintlock, the rebrowned barrels show nice Damascene patterns with some light pitting near the bolsters, casehardened parts showing mostly a smooth grey patina, and some very light surface pitting visible under on the reblued heel plate and trigger guard band. There is a small piece absent from the right hammer. The refinished wood is also very good with some scattered minor dings and scratches, smoothed edges, and well-defined checkering. Mechanically fine.
