"Ketland/& Co." marked lock, fancy script initials inscribed on the circular brass escutcheon on top of the stock wrist, and Ordnance private crown proofs on the left of the breech surrounding "GR". This circa 1775-1800 officers fusil was made with a high level of fit and finish, likely for a high ranking individual. Features a sighting groove at the breech, brass fittings, and wedges securing the barrel.

Very fine, with strong brown finish on the barrel with some light flash pitting, a bright appearance on the lock, pleasing golden aged patina on the brass fittings, with sharp markings and edges overall in the metal. Stock is also very fine with defined edges, some scattered light handling marks, a pin-sized hole in the left of the buttstock likely from a display plaque, and one concentrated area of numerous light lines ahead of the lock from display. Mechanically excellent.
