No visible maker markings and features an engraved lock, hammer and brass trigger guard, open scroll engraved brass side guard, raised ornamental brass buttcap, curled trigger and decorative brass thumb plate. There are three proofs on the barrel with a very faint 2 1/2 inch rear wedge of decorative engraving. Mounted with a full one piece stock with a brass barrel band and a very faint raised decorative carving on the rear.

ConditionFair. The metal surfaces exhibit a dark mottled patina. The brass has a smooth aged patina. The wood is poor with some minor-moderate hairline cracks on the underside and near the buttcap and some minor chips, scratches and gouges. The action functions, but is loose. From the Will Hoffeld Collection.
