Silver Inlaid, Engraved, and Carved G.M. Funck Percussion Side by Side Shotgun

"Fürst/Löwenstein/seinem/G. Truchsess" (Prince/Löwenstein/his/G. Steward) is marked on the German silver escutcheon on the top of the wrist. The prince would be either Prince Adolf or Prince Wilhelm of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg. It has a bead front sight, silver banded breech, eagle or similar birds for hammers, "G.M. Funck" in silver inlay on the right lock, "in Suhl" in silver inlay on the left lock, scroll and border engraving, a dog and bird scene on the trigger guard bow, checkered forend and wrist, patch box, cheek rest, and raised relief carved fox and rabbit scene with detailed foliage and textured background on the left side of the butt.

ConditionFine with 30% period blue remaining on the trigger guard and buttplate heel, aged patina on the silver, a mix of light gray and brown patina throughout, some minor oxidation, what appears to be a piece of metal imbedded into the ramrod entry ferrule, a few scratches, and general mild wear. The wood is also fine and has mildly worn checkering, a screw stabilized crack below the right lock, and general minor scratches and pressure marks. Mechanically fine.
