The barrel markings are illegible. The barrel measures approx. 0.880” across the flats at both the muzzle and the breech end. The overall length is 53”. Double set triggers. The metal finish on the barrel is a rusty brown patina with “kill” marked etched into the top flat along with heavy metal erosion around the nipple. The lock plate and hammer are a brownish patina with pitting on the lock plate. Notch rear sight and brass blade front sight dovetailed into the barrel. White brass butt plate, decorative patch box and trigger guard along with numerous engraved decorative plates screwed to the stock. Yellow brass nose cap. The half-length striped hardwood stock is in good condition showing light marks with a chip at the toe. There is a chunk of wood missing from the right side of the upper tang. The action seems to work OK, but it is sluggish. The main action/lock plate screw is a modern replacement. The ramrod is missing.
