A lovely example of this well loved type with 9 inch finely chiseled barrel with engraved octagonal section at breech. 60 caliber smoothbore. Lovely silver and niello decorated breech tang cover. Bolted lock with swan neck cock and sophisticated roller bearing frizzen. The entire lock surrounded by a beaded silver sheath.

The entire stock is solid silver profusely decorated with niello designs and a magnificent faux side plate featuring an extensive trophy of arms. Silver relief niello decorated triggerguard with silver trigger. False ramrod as these were used with a detached ramrod. 18 and 1/2 inches overall.
