Tapered round 13 inch .62 caliber smoothbore barrel, the top chiseled with three narrow ribs extending to leaf-shaped panels at muzzle and breech, the latter continuing to a maker's cartouche and a further shaped panel above the tang; the panels, muzzle and long tang all decorated with gold koftgari lines. Unmarked lock of familiar form framed by a bone panel, as is the ball trigger and barrel tang. Silver counterplate of zig-zag form with spearpoint finials holding the lock screws. Large marine ivory ball butt above a silver collar, the lanyard ring mounted on a silver base. Circassian walnut stock with sectional fore-end retained by two simple iron bands; right side of wrist retaining the leather thumb pad. Condition: Very good. Barrel with mottled grey patina showing some light pitting, losses to koftgari and showing some remains of watered pattern. Stock with scattered minor marks and some chipping and slivered losses at fore-end, the front section restored. See Illustration
