Manufactured circa 1859 to 1864 bearing interesting "1111" serial number. One of a small number of sporting rifled built with brass frames.

Stocked in walnut with brass mounts. CONDITION: Fine. Original barrel finish has largely faded to plum. Brass retains a very pleasing mellow, untouched patina. Stock is very good with scattered marks. Especially fine bore. Mechanically fine.
