Round barrel with sighting plane engraved with light florals and an obfuscated poincon over breech. Barrel retained by 4 pins. Short decorative ramrod with scalloped tip retained by a single ferrule and feeding into a reinforced mouth. Lock with a teardrop finial at rear with an unbridled faceted pan, swan neck cock, and light engraving. Brass furniture with light engraving of geometrics, florals, sideplate with animals. Brass buttcap with long stirrups and enlarged ovoid pommel. Barrel appears to have been treated with a torch of some kind, as heat distortion is visible throughout. Brass is very good, somewhat rough from casting and manufacture. Lock has been fixed in place by a pin. Wood is good with numerous handling marks, chips, and impressions; last 2" of stock have been replaced with a spliced in tip. Mechanically fine, bore is good with some minor oxidation. EMW
