Falling block single shot action, using interesting thin metallic cartridges and a percussion cap. Blued barrel, case color frame and action, smooth straight grip wood stock and forearm with one barrel band, saddle ring on the left side, 21" round barrel, two position flip up rear sight and blade front, fair bore and working action.Condition: Good antique with most finish either worn off or removed during clean up. Small amount of case color still visible on the lever action and side plate. Surface pitting visible throughout although not very deep. Wood has been refinishedso it doesn't fit the frame real well, and stock shows a repaired crack on the right side. Still a real collectable as only about 50,000 were made during the war.
