Wheellock sporting guns were popular with the noblemen of the Germanic states from the 16th to 18th century and later became popular collectible and decorative items in arms collections throughout Europe. The swamped, smoothbore barrel has a blade front sight, brass vent liner, and no visible markings. The lock has scroll and bestial engraving. The ramrod pipes and large sideplate are brass, and the remaining furniture is iron. The patch box lid is wood with iron fittings, and a custom spanner tool is inside. The stock has some relief carved scroll and floral designs and a nice pierced scroll design on the left side of the wrist.

Good with mostly gray and brown patina, some mild pitting, applied blue finish on the breech end of the barrel, and general moderate overall wear. The stock is fair and has multiple cracks and repairs (including splices in the forend and above the lock) as well as some general mild scratches and dings, distinct carving, and some minor insect holes. The lock has not been tested.
