Silver pricker engraved with expanded flowers en suite with silver ball trigger. Original belt hook. CONDITION: Barrel with significant pitting, mostly at muzzle. Lock has been cleaned, leaving engraving light. Hammer has been damaged and repaired, obscuring all engraving. Steel stock with minor pitting throughout, however, silver inlay is crisp and legible with beautiful armorial and Clan MacLean motto. Action is crisp. Bore is good.
