CONDITION: Exceptionally fine overall with period refurbished smooth brown finish and light twist patterns on the barrel, bright gold, silver-gray on the lock and mounts, crisp engraved and chiseled designs and markings throughout, faint stress cracking evident on the cocks, and minimal light handling and storage type wear. The stock is very fine and has crisp carving, attractive aged patina on the silver inlays, and light dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent. This is a truly remarkable piece and is almost certainly one of the
240
finest English flintlock firearms available on the open market today.
Provenance: The Burton Constable Hall Collection; The Norman R. Blank Collection.
Estimate: 40,000 - 65,000
