The pistol measures approx. 16” overall with 9-7/8” barrel. Simple American styling with what may be an English imported triggerguard, with straight grain walnut, ribbed barrel, horned forend cap. The pistol appears to have been made as a percussion. The metal remains in good condition showing a brown patina, some light erosion and pinprick pitting.
