Blued, swamped octagon barrel with a dovetailed brass blade front sight and decorative notched rear. Lock remains in its original flint configuration and has a case hardened flat lock plate with beveled edges and a faceted pan. The stock takes down at the wrist, threading into place with a catch also mounted to the split brass trigger guard assembly. Forend has lovely Germanic relief scroll carving and terminates in a horn Schnabel tip. The horn tipped rod is retained by faceted brass ferrules. Stock has a Germanic cheek piece flanked by carved scroll. Just above it is a large inlaid bone and horn 8-pointed hunter's star. Right side has a sliding ribbed wood and horn patchbox lid and some further carving. The brass butt plate is engraved ".ZZ.", a corresponding "Z" also behind the breech. CONDITION: Very Fine. Barrel retains the vast majority of its blue, now slightly faded with some light spotting and handling marks. Lock and tang display some bright flashes of case color, the balance muted. Stocks have some expected dings, nicks, and minor splits scattered throughout. Well defined bore with darkness in the grooves.
