Walnut half stock finely checkered at wrist, with horn forend. CONDITION: Barrel is refinished throughout, with markings somewhat obscured. Lock in good crisp condition, with clear engraving and good markings. Stock with coat of varnish and repaired split on left side. Forend tip considerably damaged. Action of hammer is crisp. Ramrod appears to be original, with brass ferrule and brass worm. Bore is excellent, with multi-groove spiral rifling. Operates correctly. A high quality American dueling pistol likely assembled from British components. From the Robert Sadler Collection.
