The muzzle is 1 by 1 1/2 inches, and the main bore is estimated above. The breech has an obscured maker's mark surrounded by clusters of fleurs-de-lis, and another faint marking is on the lock. A belt hook is fitted to the left. The top of the wrist has a button that unlatches the butt and allows the stock to fold for easier storage. The left side of the butt has a cheekpiece. The furniture is brass.

Rating Definition:

Good with smooth blend of applied finish and natural brown patina on the lock and barrel, faint markings, a repair on the left side of the butt section at the wrist, some nice figure, and minor overall wear.
