Item Description: Translate description
.45 cal, 32'' part round part octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore that has been professionally re-bored and rifled. The barrel retains about 90% quality reapplied plum-brown finish that shows some toning to gray and light pinprick pitting beneath the finish in some areas. The top flat retains legible ''A.R. DAVIS / DEPOSIT N.Y.'' maker marking. The breech plug shows scattered light pitting and some gaps in its fit against the tang and the nipple is a more modern replacement. The back action lockplate has been cleaned to a pewter gunmetal patina with remnants of light game scene embellishments. The barrel is equipped with a thin under-rib and a pair of later added thimbles and stock hardware consists of a pewter nosecap and German silver wedge escutcheon, triggerguard, toeplate, pendulum patchbox and decorative pointed inlay on the left side of the buttstock. The crescent buttplate is brass and the barrel wedge is a bit ill-fitting. The walnut stock rates very good as-cleaned with some gaps around the bolster and lockplate and thin cracks around the lock screw and 3'' crack along the left edge of forend. There is no cheekpiece and the rifle is sighted with a later-added tang sight, fine u-notch sporting rear and a replacement tall blade front, the original sight present within the patchbox. Equipped with rather dainty double set triggers, the lock is single-acting and seems to function well mechanically. A later-made ramrod is also present. (13A11554-2) {ANTIQUE} (600/800)
