This fascinating combination gun has two 28 gauge smoothbore barrels over two .38 caliber rifled barrels. The upper rib is fitted with a blade front and adjustable notch rear sights with ornate finials and inlaid with silver and gold at the breech. The gun is equipped with two back action locks. Each lock has two hammers; one for the upper barrel and one for the lower barrel on their respective sides. Only one hammer can be cocked at a time. They are fired using a single trigger. The locks have floral scroll and border engraving. The spurred trigger guard has an engraved scene with a bald eagle on the bow. The other components mainly have scroll and floral engraving. The bottom of the buttstock has a small compartment, and there is a "cap box" on each side. Opening the box on the left side reveals a compass. The left side of the butt also has dog and bird inlay, and the right side has two stars. There are also engraved strips, and attractive engraved German silver repair plates. The writer does not recall seeing a more elegant wrist repair.
