The barrel and lock have Nuremberg marks. The lock also has a large "IV/cross/orb" marking that has been dated to c. 1590-1620 (see "Der Neue Stockel" p. 1338) while the barrel has a "W/rampant lion with crossed tail" marking similar to Heinrich Winck's marking from Wroclaw c. 1743-52 or Hans Heinrich Wohlfahrt's marking from Saxony c. 1709-1725 (see "Der Neue Stockel" p. 1397 and 1403) followed by a small bird marking. The barrel is rifled and has a flared and crowned muzzle, banded transition point, and band of engraving at the breech. The lock has some engraved accents on the fittings, an exposed wheel, automatic pan cover, and a match holder. A safety latch engraved as a boar's head is on the left side of the wrist. The "fishtail" style fruitwood stock has extensive bone or stag-horn inlays in a variety of shapes with engraved floral, bestial, and hunting designs, including a hunter and his dog pursuing a hare on the right side of the forend, a hare and boar being chased by a dog on the left side of the forend along with a dog grasping a hare and an eagle, a hunter with his dog spearing a bear on the stock flat, and a devilish mask on the pommel plate which also has a brass "508" inventory tag.
