The smoothbore octagon barrel is inscribed "Muley Dublin" on the top flat and private British view and proof marks on the left side of the breech. The front sight is brass and the back sight is iron mounted just at front of the barrel tang. Barrel features a hooked breech. The flat lockplate is inscribed "Muley" in the center and tail is stepped and engraved. Lock features a roller frizzen. Although the barrel and lock are Irish, the figured tiger and bird's eye maple stock is clearly North American, as well as the silver octagonal barrel key escutcheons and the small unengraved silver oval shaped wrist escutcheon. The grip is checkered. The ramrod ferrules are iron as well as the trigger guard which is engraved and has a pineapple front finial. Complete with a period brass tipped wooden ramrod. CONDITION: Untouched and "as found". Barrel retains a brown patina and markings are very good. Lock retains a dark grey patina and is in its original flintlock configuration, functions well. Iron mounts and silver mounts retain a dark pewter patina. Stock is very good with its original finish and some minor marks from use. One small grain crack at muzzle on left side of stock. A very nice pistol. DMG
