Description:

The only marking is "C. BAKER" on the lock. The gun has a single rifled .54 caliber barrel and two 14 gauge shotgun barrels. The shotgun barrels have bead front sights, and the rifle barrel has a dovetailed blade front sight. All three barrels have dovetailed notch rear sights. The barrels release via a lover on the left for rotation. The furniture is German silver. There is also a German silver dog inlay on the cheekpiece. The small patchbox is scroll engraved. The stock has a checkered wrist.

Rating Definition:

Very good with gray and brown patina on the lock and barrels, mild pitting, absent nipple from the rifle barrel, aged patina on the German silver, and general mild wear. The stock is also very good and has distinct checkering, some nice figure, and mild scratches and dings. There is some play in the fit, but the gun is mechanically fine.
