Item Description: Translate description
.70 cal, 27 1/2” octagon barrel flaring slightly at the muzzle with a moderately oxidized bore. The metal surfaces have toned to a deep plum-brown patina with some moderate pitting and even surface oxidation. There is a nice familial crest inlaid in silver near the breech and the brass lockplate and breech band have taken on a nice dark tarnish overall. The arm was perhaps converted to percussion from matchlock, strangely the hammer currently has no way of reaching the touch hole and the lock is not functional. Security of the barrel in the stock is precarious and there are currently zip ties offering additional retention. There is a simple curved iron triggerguard and peculiar large wavy iron fingergroove hardware. The forend of the stock is of typical two-piece construction, a band apparently missing near the muzzle and the right edge of the fore-stock with an old full-length crack. The buttstock is another peculiarity, seemingly clad over what was likely an earlier more traditional short stubby butt, it is now widely flaring with long deep flutes. A very interesting piece for the antique arms collector. (13B11407-15) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)
