The rifled brass barrel is signed "AAW" in script on top by Master Engraver Alvin A. White who was one of the most talented American arms engravers in the 20th century and indeed in American history. While best known for engraved Colt revolvers, White had a personal interest in muzzleloading firearms. The barrel also features a silver blade front sight and flourishes of scroll engraving. The bright steel/iron upper tang has floral engraving and a notch rear sight. The lock is signed "A.A. White" and has scroll engraving. The furniture is silver. The side plate is engraved with a bald eagle and classical martial trophies. The pommel cap has a grotesque mask. The trigger guard has floral and fan patterns. The wrist escutcheon has floral finials. The nicely figured and shaped stock has raised shell carving at the barrel tang.

Exceptionally fine with light aged patinas on the brass and silver, French gray color and light case colors on the lock, crisp engraving and markings, and minor marks and scratches. The stock is also very fine and has smooth finish, nice figure, crisp carving, and some minor dings and scratches mainly on the forend. Mechanically fine.
