Item Description: Translate description
About .64 cal, 26'' octagon barrel with a moderately oxidized bore showing faint remnants of what appears to be fine scratch-style rifling. This arm has been reconverted to flint, the lockplate itself appearing to be the original component with more modern added flint small parts. Germanic in its style, the barrel is of Spanish make by Diego Esquibel, bearing his touch marks and dated 1719 and given a full-length treatment of deeply punched matting. The metal surfaces are mostly a pleasant deep plum-brown patina with some erosion nearer the breech and evidence of the removed nipple drum. The touch marks and sights are all silver, the rear lock screw is a more modern replacement and the upper tang is engraved with the number ''4''. The brass fittings have mostly toned to a medium goldenrod patina and consist of faceted ramrod thimble and tailpipe, long graceful triggerguard, heavy buttplate and simple circular lock screw escutcheons. The stock appears to be maple and rates good showing numerous splinters missing along the forend edges and also some extensive repairs along the forend, it having been reattached ahead of the tailpipe, cracks around lockplate and left stock flat and other expected wear, the horn nosecap with some flaking and crackling. The appearance of the wood is otherwise quite honest showing nice figure throughout and retaining good edges with squared-off left-side cheekpiece. The patchbox sliding cover has been lost to the years but the sling swivels are intact and a simple hickory ramrod is present. The rear set trigger is present but what was no double a very fine wire-type firing trigger has broken off so there is no way to fire the lock when it is cocked. Otherwise this is an interesting rifle for the antique arms collector. (13C11896-14) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
