Features: false muzzle, globe front sight, banded transition point, "NGHURST" (almost certainly Billinghurst), on top at the breech, a threaded "lollipop" tang peep sight, plain trigger, floral engraved lock and hammer, pewter forend cap, plain brass furniture, and a nicely figured and varnished walnut stock. Presumably the rifle's barrel was marked before the barrel was fitted given it lacks any suggestion of shortening from the breech end. William Billinghurst (1807-1880) of Rochester was one of the most prominent and prolific gunmakers in New York in the 19th century. Among his reported clients were the emperor of Brazil and the maharajah of Bombay, and he is known to have produced a wide array of firearms, including revolving rifles, underhammer rifles, "mule ear" rifles, and combination guns.
